The softness or firmness of a catheter influences insertion comfort and ease of handling. Softer catheters are gentler and more comfortable for sensitive users, while firmer catheters are easier to insert, particularly for those with reduced dexterity or challenging anatomy. The Coloplast 116 Self-Cath Soft Catheter and Coloplast 114 Self-Cath Soft Catheter are designed to be softer than traditional plastic but firmer than red rubber, offering a balance between comfort and usability. With multiple options available, users can select the firmness level that best meets their personal comfort and handling needs.
