Product Information

Optitip™

Small changes make big differences

The Optitip™ catheter has been designed with a balloon that is closer to the tip. This prevents damage to the bladder mucosa that can result from standard catheter tips which may suck against the bladder wall. An eyehole has been added below the balloon to drain residual urine.

Specialist Catheter Tip Designs

Integral Balloon Technology

100% Medical Grade, Biocompatible Silicone

Scientifically Validated Inflation Solution

Patients experience different catheter-related problems such as blockages, spasms and recurrent infection. Our unique catheter designs allow you to apply individualised patient care, choosing the right catheter tip to suit the patient.

The LINC catheter balloon is integral to the wall of the catheter. This eliminates the pain and trauma associated with balloon cuffing upon removal which can occur with standard catheter balloons.^2–4

Silicone catheters provide double the drainage compared to the equivalent sized latex catheters.^3,5,6 This helps to prevent blockages and ensure excellent, continuous drainage. Silicone is also safe for all your patients.^3,7

LINC catheters are supplied with a pre-filled syringe of 5% glycerine solution that is proven to reduce premature balloon deflation. This solution equalises the osmotic pressure between the balloon and urine and helps the catheter to stay put for the 12 weeks dwell time.^3,8

Includes free syringe of LINC Gel Lubricant (with lidocaine and chlorhexidine)

[LINC Medical] has now brought out the Optitip® catheter, which again is open tipped, with the balloon when inflated being almost level with the tip of the catheter, a further drainage hole lies beneath the balloon. This makes the catheter particularly helpful for those patient with large amounts of sediment. For example, one of my patients (a long-term user of suprapubic catheters) trialled the Optitip® and finds it not only very comfortable, but also that infection rates have dropped by 80% in the nine months of using it.

Jane Miles

Specialist Nurse, Urology, Frimley Park Hospital

I am currently in an advanced stage of multiple sclerosis and have been using suprapubic catheters since 2010. Over time I had been having problems with catheters causing pain in the bladder and painful spasms of bladder and legs which occasionally affected my bowels as well.

The Optitip® catheter has greatly, greatly improved my quality of life! I no longer have bladder pains from pointed catheter tips and therefore have no catheter induced spasms of bladder, legs or bowels. A huge bonus is that I realised that my bladder infection occurrences have dripped a significant amount, I estimate 85%.

My grateful thanks to LINC for introducing the Optitip® catheter to me. The difference this has made to my life and my health is huge.

Since using the new style Optitip® catheter for some months, I have found I have not had as many infections, problems such as blockages, or discomfort as I had with the original National Health ones.

I requested free samples of the Optitip® catheter from you and I received two to try. I had one fitted by my District Nurse today and would like to give you feedback. What a difference I didn’t feel the insertion or inflation and no after effects. My District Nurse was so impressed she asked to take the sleeve and information with her. She had recently attended a catheter training course but was unaware of the new range of catheters you offer. I will be reporting back to my local Health Board Anerin Bevan and request that the Optitip® is added to my prescription.

The main problem I have found with all catheters is the suction on the mucosa. The Optitip® is the only catheter I know that greatly alleviates from this problem. I used the Optitip® for 6
weeks. In that time I had no infection issues and no blockages…I have had no spasms in the bladder since using this type of catheter. It is simply amazing.

Tracey Seal

We have had very good success with the Optitip®. The catheter does seem to be more comfortable for pateints, and bladder spasm is less. I haven’t noticed any increase in infections rates. We have been able to extend catheter changing times as blockages reduced in 90 per cent of patients. Most patients are very happy as less blockages! Overall we like it a lot.
