Urgent and Extremely Important!!

Within the past year an extremely disturbing trend has emerged. More and more insurance companies are excluding sterile intermittent catheters and other related supplies from their policies.

Insurance companies are currently excluding all urological supplies from some of their renewals after previously covering these items. It is extremely important during this open enrollment period to confirm that your new policy still covers sterile intermittent catheters, closed system catheters, hydrophilic catheters, leg bags, bedside bags and external condom catheters.

Don’t just assume that all of your urological supplies will continue to be covered. Please be proactive and contact your HR department or insurance agent to confirm that all urological supplies are covered in your new policy. You can also contact us and we will verify that your policy covers your urological supplies. 203-292-5043

Welcome to the SpeediCath family – a new generation of safe, hygienic catheters that offer ease of use, greater comfort and minimal risk of urethral micro-trauma for all catheter users.

Why the need to use a catheter?
There are many reasons why some people cannot urinate voluntarily and need to empty their bladder via a catheter. The nerve supply to your bladder may have been damaged; you may suffer from back problems or an enlarged prostate. Catheterisation may also be necessary after certain types of surgery, or it may be caused by a particular condition you were born with.

What is a catheter?
Intermittent catheters are fine hollow tubes inserted into the bladder to drain away urine. They come in different lengths and sizes for men, women and children. The most advanced catheters have a thin surface coating. When immersed in water this ‘hydrophilic’ coating swells to a smooth, slippery film making the catheter safer and more comfortable to insert.
