A magic intermittent catheter, also known as a hydrophilic catheter, is a medical device used by individuals with urinary retention or bladder dysfunction to manage their condition. It is designed to be inserted into the urethra to drain the bladder and is typically used on a regular basis as part of a patient's self-catheterization routine. What sets the magic intermittent catheter apart from other catheters is its hydrophilic coating. This coating is activated by water, allowing the catheter to become extremely lubricated and slippery. When the catheter is exposed to water, such as when it is soaked or submerged in a container of water, the hydrophilic coating becomes slippery to facilitate easier and more comfortable insertion. The magic intermittent catheter offers several benefits over traditional catheters.
