Touchless Catheters

A touchless catheter is a type of urinary catheter that is designed to be inserted and removed without the need for manual touch or contact with the catheter. This can be useful in reducing the risk of infection and other complications associated with catheter use. There are several different types of touchless catheters available, including self-inserting catheters, catheters with a disposable insertion device, and catheters with a hands-free insertion system. Some touchless catheters are designed to be used by the patient themselves, while others require the assistance of a caregiver. Touchless catheters are typically used in patients who are at high risk of infection, or in situations where reducing the risk of contamination is a priority.
