What is a silver catheter?

A  silver catheter is coated in a  silver alloy material that prevents encrustation and repels bacteria.  This helps to prevent the patient from getting urinary tract infections  while they’re using the catheter. The hydrogel coating on the tubing  helps the catheter become more user-friendly. It creates a cushioned  barrier between the walls of the urethra and bladder opening for easier  insertion and removal of this device.
