A Compact, Ready-to-Use Catheter That Fits in a Pocket or Purse
Convatec GentleCath Air for Women is a compact hydrophilic intermittent catheter designed for discreet use on the go. It comes in a small, sealed case that fits easily in a pocket or purse, and the catheter is packaged with sterile water so it is ready to use straight from the case with no added lubricant. FeelClean Technology is designed to leave minimal mess and residue.
A long funnel gives you something to hold, so you can handle the catheter without touching the part that is inserted. After use, the catheter goes back into its leak-proof case to be sealed for disposal, and the case itself is recyclable. GentleCath Air for Women has a straight female tip, is made without latex, DEHP or PVC, and comes in three sizes: CH10, CH12 and CH14.

Product Specialist Insight: Catheter size is measured in Charrière (CH), which is the same scale as French (Fr): CH12 and 12 Fr are the same size. The right size is set by your healthcare provider, so order the size on your prescription rather than switching on your own. The main appeal of GentleCath Air is its size and convenience: the compact case is easy to carry and dispose of discreetly, which makes it well suited to catheterizing away from home. Because each catheter is single use, a box of 30 is the practical way to keep a steady supply on hand.
