It was reported that the water packet should be packed on the paper side, and not the plastic film side.Also, the customer found that some were the right way, and most were wrongly packed in the previous samples also.Both the rochester and bard were inconsistent in the orientation and layering of the water packet.With the packet adjacent to the clear plastic film side, following the instructions did not result in the adequate lubrication of the catheter.Also, the packet was often aligned so the water squirted towards the funnel and not the tip.The neck of the plastic film in the rochester brand was too wide, allowing the packet to slide up towards the funnel.The hydrophilic version, avoided the buildup of lubricant with frequent catheterization.Sometimes, however the coating seemed barely adequate.Follow up via phone on 12jan2021, the customer added that sometimes the water packet did lubricate the catheter completely because of the way it is positioned in the packaging.
