If you didn’t already know, hydrophilic means "water-loving." That means a hydrophilic catheter is an intermittent urinary catheter coated with a special polymer coating that can bind to water molecules. When a hydro catheter comes into contact with water, the polymer coating binds onto the water and becomes extremely slippery and smooth. This special layer that reacts with water creates a slippery coating that is self-lubricating, thus reducing the need for lubricating gels. The surface properties of hydrophilic coating catheters make them popular among intermittent catheter users.

Shield HealthCare offers a variety of hydrophilic catheters to accommodate all shapes and sizes. Shield will even "bend" to your preferences! With catheters made from latex, silicone, PVC, and polyolefin elastomer, our selection is rangy enough to accommodate any flexibility preferences.
