This catheter is the most comfortable I have used in 22Fr. I have tried many different brands and until finding the Rusch I was using the Bard in the same price category. The Bard had QC issues in that when inflating the balloon it did not always inflate symmetrically, pushing the tip of the catheter to the side causing bladder irritation. Although this is a soft catheter it inserts very easily and is very comfortable during insertion. As a male, my recommendation for insertion is to allow the penis to point down while standing. Then insert the catheter in a vertical motion. I realize not everyone can stand while inserting but I found this has the least resistance and most comfort. I recommend trying the Rusch Belly bag too! It is expensive but it is very convenient to use! Also, it holds the catheter up and away from the anus/vagina and thus helps prevents contact with infection causing bacteria.

I buy these for my father (his home nurse inserts them) He tells me whats wrong and I tell you we tried a lot of brands and sizes. ten doller ones to one fifty ones and these are the best. He is now comfortable with them,sleeps all night

This is a great alternative to having to use single- use catheters 4 to 6 times a day, especially when traveling or when cathing is not convenient.

It did the job, but I liked the Bard 16fr.silicone ribbed 5cc better

thanks for offering individual units instead of a huge boxed quantity
