EasiCath is a single-use hydrophilic-coated catheter. Simply add water and wait 30 seconds before use. The coating reduces friction compared to uncoated and gel-lubricated catheters. Soft, rounded eyelets ensure gentle, comfortable, and safe catheterisation.
Here you’ll find information about everyday life and comfort as a catheter user.
Intermittent Catheterisation is a method used to empty the bladder in people with urinary retention. It involves inserting a catheter through the urethra 4–6 times a day to fully drain the bladder, after which the catheter is discarded. Regular emptying prevents infections that can start in the bladder and reach the kidneys.
IC helps reduce urinary infections by removing residual urine, supports better bladder control, and can be done safely outside the hospital. It promotes independence, protects the upper urinary tract, and improves daily comfort, sexual health, and quality of life.
Hydrophilic catheters provide smoother, safer insertion, reduce friction-related trauma, require no preparation, and offer evidence-backed reductions in complications—making them a more comfortable and convenient option.
Around 4–6 times a day, or as recommended by your doctor or nurse. You should catheterize as often as needed to empty your bladder, similar to how a normally functioning bladder would work.
It is important to use the correct catheter type and size. Your healthcare professional will help you choose the most suitable option based on your individual needs.
If you have tried and failed, do not worry or panic. Try to relax and wait for a minute before trying again. You may find it helpful to take a warm bath or shower before catheterising again. If you still cannot insert the catheter, contact your healthcare professional for advice.
You should drink around 1.5–2 liters of fluid per day. The color of your urine can help indicate whether you are drinking enough. Light-colored urine usually means you are well hydrated.
