Elegant in Appearance, Purposeful in Function
Liv incorporates a set of infection‑prevention design features, adapted from evidence‑based intermittent catheter technologies, to support safe, everyday use. Product not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or other phthalates
Individual packaging
Each device is individually pouched to help protect the catheter from debris during storage and transport, while providing a discreet, easy‑to‑carry formatSelf‑contained, no‑touch catheter
The catheter sits within a protective housing that supports no-touch use, helping reduce contact between the catheter surface and hands or external surfaces during insertion.Soft silicone introducer tip
The pre-lubricated introducer tip allows the catheter to bypass approximately the first 1.5 cm of the distal urethra, where bacterial concentration is highest, helping reduce the risk of bacteria entering the bladder.EZ‑Advancer® locking mechanism
eliminates catheter retraction, enabling smooth and controlled insertion.
Drainage Port
Funnels urine directly into a toilet,
commode, or other collection container.
Push Rod
Engages the catheter and helps provide
controlled insertion .
Drainage Eyes
Staggered, heat-polished eyelets support
