I have tried a wide variety of catheters for intermittent cauterization including Magic 3, Magic 3 Go, and more from fee samples to purchasing small quantities in an effort to reduce the discomfort of insertion and removal. My medical team assured it would get better over time. Six months out from the original no matter which solution I tried lubricated, hydrophilic, hydrophilic plus lubrication from different manufactures the discomfort has not abated. However when I tried the CompactCath Classic it was like night and day. Only very slight and very tolerable discomfort. Almost not noticeable. I think the silicon oil and the slight smaller diameter catheter both contributed. As a Bonus it was a whole lot less messier to deal with from beginning of the procedure to the end. I will admit that it took a few days to get comfortable with handling the novel system but now it's second hand thanks to the videos and instructions sent with the delivery. Also a shout out to the CompactCath folks for hooking me up with 180Medical as my supplier. Much, Much easier to deal with than my formal supplier.
