Is SpeediCath and the SpeediCath inner packaging silicone-free?
Yes. There is no silicone content in the product itself, or the inner packaging. Some suppliers of raw catheters use silicone oils as lubricants in the extrusion process which means that residue may be present on some catheters. However, in the manufacture of SpeediCath raw catheters, the use of silicone oils is strictly forbidden because even the smallest amount of residue from such oils could cause problems with the adherence of the hydrophilic coating to the raw catheter.
