SpeediCath Compact

Very often, the need for catheter-aided urination is a condition that lasts for life.

SpeediCath Compact is a catheter for women who prefers a so-called ‘intermitting catheterization’, i.e. the users can apply the catheter themselves four to seven times daily. The Speedicath looks and feels like other personal hygiene and beauty products in a woman’s handbag.

SpeediCath Compact consists of three parts:
- A thin flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder (the catheter)
- A firm inner tube containing water to activate the lubrication
- A firm outer tube which is first the packaging and then a non-touch handle when the catheter is extended.

During the development process, there was a close dialog between women using intermittent catheters, professionals treating the patients, and Danish company Coloplast. SpeediCath Compact combines a high knowledge of technology within especially surfaces and materials with a very profound understanding of user needs.
