It is possible you may need to use bladder or bowel products to help manage continence and bowel issues when living with MS. On this page you will find a summary of the types of products Coloplast offers and hear what some of our users say about using these products to support their bladder and bowel issues.
Coloplast offers a wide range of catheter options to help you to find the product that is right for you.
The SpeediCath range offers a wide array of catheters that are instantly ready to use, straight out of their packaging. All SpeediCath catheters have 2 eyelets on the tip of the catheter to drain the urine from the bladder. The eyelets are polished to reduce risk of urethral damage.1,2
“SpeediCath® Flex freed me from my fear of leaving the house.”

Our Luja catheters are designed to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). These catheters enable complete bladder emptying in one position to reduce the risk of UTIs.3,4,5
Rather than a two-eyelet design, the Luja range uses unique Micro-hole Zone Technology which enables an uninterrupted and free urine flow3,4 when emptying the bladder. With the Micro-hole Zone Technology, the flow stops when the bladder is completely empty.3,4 This means you have a simpler emptying technique compared to conventional catheters with two eyelets as you don’t have to reposition the catheter.
All Luja and SpeediCath catheters come with Triple Action Coating Technology.
All Luja and SpeediCath catheters have a hydrophilic coating which is based on Triple Action Coating Technology. This technology enables the coating to stay:
Ultimately, Triple Action Coating Technology reduces the risk of urethral damage2,6 and enables a reduced risk of urinary tract infections6,7,8 when you use the catheter.
Coloplast also offers a variety of transanal irrigation (TAI) systems to help you manage your bowel.9
Peristeen Plus is a high volume TAI device which can help to keep you continent for up to two days.10 It allows majority of users to control when and where they empty their bowels.
“Now that I use Peristeen, it’s given me the confidence that everything is going to be okay. If I do it the night before or in the morning before I go out, I have the confidence that I can exercise, go for a run or go out with my family and friends and everything will be okay.”

Peristeen Light is a low-volume TAI device that helps manage faecal incontinence and/or constipation conditions.9
“When I started using Peristeen Light, at first, I was a little insecure because I didn’t know how to use it, or what it did exactly. But when I eventually used it, it was such a relief — it worked immediately.”
