Most people are fortunate to have never needed a catheter in their body. For those who have endured them, know a catheter is one of the most mixed blessings of all time. Relief from urinary problems is immense. On the other hand, catheters are a big pain to deal with and have been known to cause a fair amount of distress when they are inserted.
Modern catheters are much improved over the first-generation models that require the use of external lubricants to insert them into the urinary tract. This was always a problem, and it is a much larger one for those who are using catheters on a more-or-less permanent basis. This requires them to change catheters at frequent intervals to avoid painful and dangerous UTI infections.
Modern hydrophilic intermittent catheters do not require any external lubricant source. Instead, the catheter tubing is coated with a special substance that reacts with water and becomes very slippery. This does not wash or rub off as traditional lubricants will, so the catheter is much easier to insert or remove.
Hydrophilic intermittent catheters represent an excellent solution to one of the biggest nagging problems that have always afflicted catheters previously. You get the relief you so urgently require without the typical anxiety and pain of catheter insertion or removal. Without discomfort or inconvenience, the patient is more likely to keep their catheters changed out on the schedule and thus reduce infection risk.
