Catheters are generally necessary when someone can’t empty their bladder. If the bladder isn’t emptied, urine can build up and lead to pressure in the kidneys. The pressure can lead to kidney failure, which can be dangerous and result in permanent damage to the kidneys.
100% silicone is a urinary catheter made entirely out of silicone. They contain no latex, which makes them ideal for people with latex allergies or sensitivities. The biocompatible, inorganic, non-porous, non-toxic, non-adhering material reduces incidence of encrustation, urethritis, and stricture as opposed to latex catheters. The properties of silicone urethral catheter make it stand out versus a latex catheter. Silicone is typically resistant to chemical attack and insensitive to temperature changes. Characteristics include chemical and thermal stability, low surface tension and hydrophobicity. Silicone is one of the most thoroughly tested groups of biomaterials and recognized for its inherent biocompatibility and bio-durability.
