What are Latex Catheters? Latex catheters are designed just like any other catheter, except they're made from 100% latex. Latex is soft and flexible, similar to silicone, but also thermo-sensitive. This means that latex can adapt to the temperature of its environment, increasing pliability. If you're unsure whether you have a latex allergy, talk to your doctor about running some tests prior to using latex catheters. This will help you avoid potential allergic reactions, which can severely complicate the catheterization process. Latex catheters should be coated with a protective layer to avoid irritation.
