| I am using Speedicath coated catheters, which are lubricated and sealed in a
saline solution. This is what the urology department gave me and when I ran
out I went to my GP and got a prescription for more. He gave me a
prescription for 180 catheters, ie 180 for £6.40, which I think is a pretty
good deal for what is obviously a fairly expensive product. They are very
easy to use but are in individually sealed containers 18" long which are not
suitable for bending in half. So it's not something you can put in your
pocket when you go to the pub, but if, like me, you only have to use it once
or twice a day it's not so bad. See:
