A SpeediCath is a type of intermittent catheter designed for individuals with urinary retention or those who need to empty their bladder but cannot do so naturally. Its unique design features a smooth, hydrophilic coating that allows for easier insertion and reduced discomfort. SpeediCath is pre-lubricated, making it convenient and hygienic for users. It is often preferred for its portability and ease of use, promoting independence in managing urinary health.
What else can I help you with?
Would someone use a speedicath?
Liberator medical thinks so, the company that markets it. When the number of UTIs rise the number of sales will go down because this device is likely to cause staph UTIs.
Should a catheter ever be forced through obstruction?
From the SpeediCath "Man's guide to intermittent self-dilation": "There may be some resistance when the catheter reaches your stricture. If this happens apply gentle pressure and the catheter will slide through" So from this I would say, give it a little pressure, if you feel any pain or discomfort STOP! You could try gently turning the catheter to see if this helps, if not, try again the next day. If the stricture or "obstruction" still stops you from inserting the catheter after a couple of days call your gp or specialist.
