1. Silicone is one of the four materials recognized by the WHO as suitable for permanent placement in the human body.
2. Pure silicone rubber has excellent biocompatibility. This product is extremely soft, non-irritating, and causes no allergic reactions in patients, but its price is slightly higher than latex catheters.
3. Silicone catheters have a wide inner diameter, preventing calcium deposits and sediment buildup that could obstruct drainage and completely solving the problem of catheter blockage leading to difficult removal.
4. Suitable for medium- to long-term indwelling catheterization, with a maximum placement time of 29 days. This avoids repeated intubation, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of urinary tract infections.
