The first time I tried a silver coated catheter, it was silicone. The nurse couldn't even keep it my bladder long enough to fill the balloon. We tried a silver coated latex catheter, and it worked fine. Never use a product you're not happy with. Stay strong. With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 32 Years Post Texas, USA

It felt like my bladder was on fire and it wouldn't stop spasming until I had the catheter changed later that afternoon. Then again, I am allergic to silicone catheters, so it may be that I am just overly sensitive. If you try to tell that to my caregivers, they'll laugh.
