What is included

- - No lubricant sachet is listed as included in standard Apogee Essentials 11416 retail packaging; this is an uncoated, non‑hydrophilic product.

Limitations and incompatibilities
- - This is an uncoated PVC catheter (not hydrophilic); it will not self‑lubricate.
- - Not suitable for users who specifically require hydrophilic or pre‑lubricated catheters.
Regulatory / prescription note
- - The manufacturer labels Apogee catheters as Rx in some markets and several resellers report prescription or professional‑license verification is required before sale. Verify local prescription/regulatory requirements before purchase.
Warnings
- - Do not reuse — single‑use only.
- - If packaging is opened, damaged, or past the expiry shown on the sealed pouch, do not use.
- - If the listing’s photographs and the packaged items you receive differ (length, French size, tip type, or funnel presence), do not use and contact the seller.
If you need help confirming size or selecting a different tip style (e.g., coudé or female/short length), contact your clinician — selecting the wrong length, tip style or French size may make the catheter unsuitable.
