{"product_id":"gentlecath-glide-hydrophilic-intermittent-urinary-catheter-for-females-box-of-30","title":"GentleCath Glide™ Hydrophilic Intermittent Urinary Catheter for Females - Box of 30","description":"GentleCath Glide™ with FeelClean Technology™ is the first and only intermittent urinary catheter where the slippery hydrophilic properties are integrated inside the catheter itself rather than having a sticky coating. Without this coating, FeelClean Technology™ does not stick, so it protects the delicate urethra, the body's first line of defense against UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections). GentleCath™ catheters are not made with DEHP\/DINP, BPA, or natural rubber latex, and is the only hydrophilic catheter that is not made with PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone).\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-details__block\"\u003e\r\n            \u003cp style=\"font-size: 1 rem; color: #666;\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eImage is for illustration purposes only.
