What makes this catheter different from other intermittant catheters?
The Apogee Catheter stands out in the crowd. First and foremost, it is a simple catheter/collection bag system that is easy to use, and doesn’t come with a lot of accessories – just the catheter and the bag. The simplicity of this packet may make some people think that it’s less effective in preventing the spread of bacteria, however, with the Introducer tip bacteria is actually shielded away from the catheter, which lowers the patient’s risk of infection and kidney damage. This intermittent catheter also lubricated and features a contoured coudé tip, which is easily maneuvered around the prostatic curve for smooth application and removal that reduces the risk of trauma to the urethra
