How does 76112-Box Self-cath Soft Straight Intermittent Catheter 12 Fr 16 compare?

Compared to standard polypropylene catheters, this model offers enhanced comfort through its fire-polished eyelet and soft material. It lacks hydrophilic coating, so it may require external lubrication unlike premium self-lubricating catheters. However, its low cost per unit makes it a budget-friendly alternative to coated or pre-lubricated options. It performs similarly to other 12 Fr straight intermittent catheters but stands out for its consistent quality and affordability, especially for high-volume users.
