Actreen® intermittent catheters

Supporting greener choices

As responsible consumers we all know the importance of sustainabiility and the environment, and by being mindful of the greener choices on offer we can act and make changes for tomorrow.

Keep the ocean in mind
What does this have to do with single use catheters?

Eco design meets innovation

Simplicity and comfort are important considerations for choosing the right catheter. With Actreen® we have designed a catheter range that is comfortable, discreet and easy to use but that can reduce the ecological footprint of daily catheterisations.

How do catheters impact your plastic waste?

One of the measurable distinctions between Actreen® and other intermittent catheters is your reduced bathroom waste. Due to its eco-design, the product’s volume is noticeably reduced. Find out how big this difference in grams (g) of plastic really is.

Actreen® pouches

Another step towards more sustainability

Wherever you go you want to have your supply of catheters all in one place. That's why in every pack of Actreen you will find a carry pouch to hold a daily supply of Actreen;  keeping your catheters discreet and tidy for those days away from home.

B. Braun has taken an important step towards making Actreen® greener. Our pouches are now paper based with a special PVC-coating for durability. You can use them multiple times, even in a wet environment. They come in useful for carrying used catheters while you locate a bin.

Due to its low PVC content (compared to 100 percent PVC bags), this new generation of pouches makes Actreen® even greener

Eco-awareness is in Actreen®'s DNA

The first product generation was developed in 2004 and has continually improved its ecological footprints.
