Abstract
Urethral catheters should satisfy variety of requirements connected to the specific application. Besides antifouling and antimicrobial properties, they should meet optimal mechanical properties, which are mostly related to the comfort during use. The comfort is extremely important since it is a direct indication of possible damage to the urethral mucosa.
