Community Benefits
The Independence Initiative partners with SCIO supporters and corporate donors to bridge gaps in services, supports and resources in order to help make the transition from hospital to home more seamless.

If life hands you a catheter, make sure you choose the one that is right for you. After all, you’ll be using it around 5 times a day* – and not all catheters are the same.
The market’s leading range of catheters, SpeediCath® by Coloplast, comes with Triple Action Coating Technology™. This means that you can rely on every SpeediCath® catheter to stay smooth and hydrated, ensuring insertion and withdrawal are smooth and gentle. Less friction means less risk of harming your urethra – and less worry about UTIs. Coloplast also provides a free industry-leading patient support program which can help you transition home and navigate incorporating catheterization into your everyday life.
