Why Choose This Product?

When managing your health, you need a catheter that is both effective and gentle. The Apogee 1016 is widely preferred for its “firm but flexible” construction, which offers the stability required for easy insertion while remaining gentle on the delicate urethral lining. Unlike some standard catheters, the Apogee line is entirely phthalate-free and latex-free, drastically reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation. With 30 individually packed, sterile catheters per box, this product offers a perfect blend of clinical-grade reliability and everyday convenience.
