- Vinyl Catheter: A standard, durable material option.
- Red Rubber Catheter: Known for its exceptional flexibility and smooth feel.
These materials are available in French sizes ranging from 8FR to 14FR. You can also choose between a Standard tip or a specialized Coude tip (which is available with the Red Rubber 14FR option) for users who require a bent insertion tip.
