Which is better, latex catheter or silicone catheter?
Catheter is made of silica gel, rubber (latex), PVC and other materials. With the development of technology, silica gel catheter is relatively used at present, but due to price and other factors, silica gel and latex catheter with rubber inner coating coexist. Among them, silicone tube is made of medical silicone rubber material and platinum vulcanizing agent by injection molding or compression molding, silicone tube, silicone rubber balloon, silicone tube, etc. It is bonded with KN-300 glue which has passed the medical safety certification, sterilized and packaged. Latex catheter is difficult to use because of its soft material. Personally, I suggest that silicone catheter has more advantages than latex catheter.
