Hydrophilic catheter
The word hydrophilic is a term that means "water-loving." It's used in both science and medicine to describe something that quickly and easily binds with water, often leading to a certain chemical reaction. Hydrophilic catheters are covered with a unique polymer coating that reacts with water to create a slippery byproduct. Hydrophilic catheters therefore are self-lubricating, thus eliminating the need for lubricating gels when performing intermittent self-catheterization. Due to the chemical byproduct of the polymer and water, friction is substantially reduced and there is less risk of damaging the urethra.
Feature
Since you don't have to touch the tubing when applying lubricating gel, hydrophilic catheters are also far more hygienic. Their design was formulated so that you don't actually have to touch the tubing when performing clean intermittent self-catheterization. Many brands come with an insertion aid, which allows you to perform the procedure without ever touching the catheter itself. While you should still prioritize washing your hands whenever you're inserting and removing a catheter, you greatly reduce the chance of bacteria, viruses, or germs from causing any problems.
