What factors impact the pricing of catheters? Some types of catheters are considered to be more high-end because of their features, materials, lubrication, packaging, etc. For example, besides the uncoated catheters, there are other variants that are pre-lubricated.

Catheters come in many sizes, materials (latex, silicone, Teflon), and types (straight or coude tip). A Foley catheter is a common type of indwelling catheter. It has soft, plastic or rubber tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain the urine.

There are 3 main types of catheters:

• Indwelling catheter.
• Condom catheter.
• Intermittent self-catheter.

SpeediCath Compact Male has a unique hydrophilic coating and polished eyelets designed to reduce friction and increase comfort, thereby minimising the risk of urethral damage.

The main risk of using a urinary catheter is that it can sometimes allow bacteria to enter your body. This can cause an infection in the urethra, bladder or, less commonly, in the kidneys. These types of infection are known as urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Do not use Vaseline (petroleum jelly). Your provider can also submit a prescription to a mail order medical supply company to have the supplies and catheters delivered to your house. Ask how often you should empty your bladder with your catheter. In most cases, it is every 4 to 6 hours, or 4 to 6 times a day.

This usually ranges from 50 cents to $7 per catheter. So, depending on the type and the manufacturer, you may be looking at anywhere between $100 and $1400 per month for the catheters alone (considering your doctor has recommended cathing six times a day).

Typically, if you self-catheterize between 6 and 7 times per day, 200 sterile catheters and lubricating jelly packets should be enough. However, if you run out of catheters or run low every month, it's possible that you may qualify for more.

Catheter Materials The most common materials are red rubber, latex, silicone, plastic and PVC. For those looking for a more rigid type, PVC material is the best choice. For those with latex allergy, red rubber is not a good option, but silicone is. Some catheters come already pre-lubricated.

Catheters with hydrophilic coating are highly biocompatible and have lower friction which provides better comfort for the patient. The hydrophilic coating also protects the tissue against latex.

Frequency of catheter changes There are two types of catheters: Short term catheter: this can remain in the bladder for one month. Long term catheter: this can remain in the bladder for three months. Catheter Hygiene: To avoid the risk of infection, follow these simple instructions.
