I use a Bard Foley IC, (Infection Control) silver coated. The clear ones
were too stiff, caused spasms.The yellowish ones cause me no issues.

John, I had a suprapubic installed about five years ago. Initially, it
was rough, constantly causing autonomic dysreflexia. I switched to a
different type of catheter called the Duette, it has helped somewhat,
but still some discomfort when the tube is moved. It's made of softer
material, every once in a while have trouble getting it to insert and
have to use a catheter with a stiffer tip called a coude. I'm in quite
a bit of pain until I can switch back to the Duette. Haven't had much
trouble with infections.

I would appreciate getting some information about getting a supra pubic
catheter.
I am 27 years old and 11 years post C4C5 SCI and TBI.
I was told by my urologist that I’m not emptying completely with simply a
condom catheter and that my best option will be to set up a surgery date in
January for a supra pubic.
I did not ask him about the option for an ileal conduit urinary diversion
but I would like feedback on which option you think is the best.
Please tell me of your experiences with the Supra pubic.
Have you had less UTI’ after having a Supra pubic?
What complications if any have you had with the Supra pubic?
Thanks for any advice or tips.
