Clinical FAQs

What are the primary performance advantages of a shortened external catheter sheath?

Standard full-length condom catheters cover a larger portion of the anatomical shaft, which can sometimes lead to excessive moisture trapping or unnecessary skin irritation for active individuals. The Active Cath features a specialized, shortened sleeve profile. This design reduces skin coverage while relying on an extra-wide, concentrated adhesive band, providing identical sealing security with far less physical material footprint against the body.

How does the built-in reservoir bulb prevent pooling leaks?

When a male external catheter kinks or twists during exercise, sitting, or turning in bed, fluid flow can become completely blocked, building back-pressure that destroys the adhesive seal. The Active Cath addresses this with an integrated reservoir bulb at the distal drainage funnel. This thick, bulbous zone acts as an expansion chamber that resists twisting and kinking, ensuring an open, free-flowing channel straight into the collection tubing.

Can this external catheter be utilized by individuals with sensitive skin or allergies?

The Active Cath is constructed from highly flexible, premium natural rubber latex, which offers exceptional elasticity and structural memory for extended daily wear. However, because it contains natural rubber compounds, it is strictly contraindicated for anyone with a diagnosed or suspected latex allergy. If you experience skin sensitivities or latex reactions, a 100% silicone alternative—such as the Coloplast Conveen Security Plus—should be selected instead.
