The Cure Dextra Closed System Catheter is one of the newer additions to the Cure Medical lineup of urinary catheters. Bob Yant is a quadriplegic and the founder of Cure Medical. From the very start, his goal has been to support medical research while providing people with superior catheter products along with exceptional value. Cure Medical is the only catheter manufacturer in the world that donates the first 10% of its net income to support medical research in finding a cure for spinal cord injuries and central nervous system disorders.
Not only does Cure Medical support this critical research, but they also choose the safest, high-quality materials to make their products. All of the Cure Medical catheters are not made with DEHP/DINP, BPA, or natural rubber latex. Their catheters are offered in a wide range of sizes and types, including straight catheters, coudé catheters, closed system catheter kits, pocket catheters, and more – all in lengths including pediatric, female, and male. In this blog post, we will discuss the innovative Cure Dextra Closed System Catheter and all of its features and benefits.
Why Cure Dextra?
Some individuals may find self-catheterization difficult due to full or limited dexterity. The Cure Dextra Closed System Catheter was created to make advancing the catheter easy not only for those with dexterity issues but for all catheter users. It is the first catheter that can be used with one hand. With its unique features and benefits, the Cure Dextra Closed Catheter System can offer increased independence.
Features and Benefits of the Cure Dextra
The Cure Dextra Closed System Catheter is a sterile, single-use, innovative intermittent catheter that has several upgrades to the other more traditional closed system catheters.
Support Band
On the back of the collection bag, there is a support band. This band helps control the catheter without requiring the use of both hands. Users with full or limited dexterity will find this feature beneficial for the insertion of the catheter.
Tip Advancing Technology
Providing a completely contactless catheterization experience, the Cure Dextra catheter is able to move out of the 1,000 mL collection bag and into the body. The chance of contamination is eliminated, making this catheter a safer choice.
Gripper Arrow
Advancing the catheter is easy by using the Gripper Arrow to move the catheter into the body with each forward stroke down the entire length of the chamber. With each forward stroke, the catheter advances and does not retract back into the bag on the back strokes.
Pre-lubricated Tip with Polished Eyelets
With a pre-lubricated Cure ProteX Introducer Tip™ and polished eyelets, the Cure Dextra catheter can glide smoothly and comfortably into the body. These features provide a safe catheterization process that may also help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.
The Cure ProteX Introducer Tip™ is made with a tightly sealed design and has minimal space between the cuts. It also has a bit of gel inside for extra protection. On the other hand, competitor tips are made with an open design, leaving clear spaces between the openings. This open structure seems to allow bacteria to pass through the tip and onto the catheter as it’s pushed through.
High-Quality Materials
All Cure Medical products are manufactured with the highest quality materials, keeping the user’s safety in mind. Cure Medical is one of the first brands to commit to manufacturing their catheters without DEHP, a potential carcinogen, and all Cure catheters are free of BPA and natural rubber latex.

Have you heard of BPA or DEHP? Many people haven’t, but these are compounds found in many common objects made of plastic. Sadly, BPA and DEHP can leech out of those plastics and when they get into the human body they can cause serious damage.
