Hollister Apogee IC Intermittent Catheter Straight Tip 16" Firm 30/bx

Why Choose Hollister Apogee IC Intermittent Catheter Straight Tip 16" Firm 30/Bx

This catheter is built for adult male users on a clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) routine who have been clinically directed to a firm straight-tip catheter — appropriate for users without urethral resistance (no BPH/prostatic obstruction/strictures) who prefer firmer catheter construction for added insertion control vs softer catheter materials. Hollister Apogee IC is Hollister's intermittent catheter product line — engineered with multiple tip style, firmness, length, and surface variants to match different clinical and user preference scenarios. The firm construction is the key user preference distinction — some users find firm catheters easier to direct through the urethra during self-catheterisation (better tactile control), while other users prefer softer/more flexible catheters for perceived comfort. Clinical direction typically guides this selection. The straight tip suits male users without urethral resistance requiring coudé navigation — distinct from Hollister Apogee IC Coudé Olive Tip variants which serve users with prostatic resistance, BPH, post-prostatectomy scarring, or anatomical variations. The 16" male length covers the full male urethral path with sufficient external catheter length for clean drainage control. The 30/Bx case format supports approximately one week of supply at typical CIC frequency (4-6 catheterisations per day). Critical: French size, material, sterility, and lubrication status must all be confirmed on the specific SKU before publishing — Apogee IC firm straight-tip catheters are supplied across multiple French sizes (typical 10Fr through 16Fr adult range), surface treatments (uncoated PVC vs hydrophilic), and lubrication formats.
