McKesson Female Hydrophilic Catheter, 10 Fr 8"
McKesson Female Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter — Straight Tip, 10 Fr, 8″
Overview
The McKesson Female Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter is a pre-lubricated, straight-tip catheter for intermittent self-catheterization — no separate lubricant needed. Its hydrophilic coating (PVP and NaCl) is activated by an included sterile water packet that bursts inside the sealed pack, turning the surface thick, smooth, and slippery in about 30 seconds with no mess.
It’s a 10 Fr size in the 8″ female length, with a black color-coded funnel for quick size identification, staggered polished eyelets for smooth insertion and steady flow, and a flexible ridged funnel for grip. The pack has a loop and adhesive so you can hang it on a wall, mirror, or stall door to stay sterile while you get set up. Each catheter is sterile, single-use, and latex-free. Note the coating contains PVP, which may cause reactions in those sensitive to it.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The “H” is the upgrade — this is the hydrophilic version, which means it’s pre-lubricated. Instead of squeezing lubricant onto an uncoated catheter, you burst the little water packet inside the sealed pack, wait about 30 seconds, and the coating turns slick on its own — cleaner, and many people find it far more comfortable, especially if plain catheters cause pain or pressure. It’s the 8″ female length in 10 Fr (the narrowest common size, black on the chart), so it’s the gentlest combination in the range. One thing to know: the coating is PVP-based, so if there’s a PVP sensitivity, skip it. The pack is made to hang on a wall or stall door so you can keep it sterile while you get set up.

Do I need to add lubricant?
No — it’s hydrophilic and pre-lubricated. Burst the included water packet inside the sealed pack, wait about 30 seconds, and the coating becomes slippery on its own.
How is it different from an uncoated catheter?
An uncoated catheter needs you to apply your own lubricant; this one is pre-lubricated via its hydrophilic coating, which many find cleaner and more comfortable.
Does it contain latex?
No — it’s latex-free. Note the coating contains PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), which may cause reactions in those sensitive to it.
