Latex rubber is the soft, milky-white substance found beneath the bark of a mature rubber tree called Hevea brasiliensis. Catheters made from 100 % latex are soft and flexible as the material is thermosensitive, which means it can adapt to the temperature of its environment. Latex catheters are inexpensive and most people prefer them for long-term catheterization. However, latex catheters should not be used by those with latex allergies. Latex catheters are often coated with a protective layer such as silicon or Teflon to prevent tissue irritation.
Foley Catheters are indwelling catheters and remain in the bladder for a longer period.

Silicone-coated latex Foley catheters dramatically reduce urethral irritation and maximize stiffness without compromising flexibility.
