Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Abstract The present inventors recognize that there is a need to improve one or more features of the catheter. For example, the urinary catheter can be a source of a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) by introducing pathogens into the urethra and/or bladder. Insertion and removal of the catheter can also cause substantial pain by kinetic friction between the catheter and the mucosa of the urethra. A lubricant coating can also be unfavorable due to potential drying of the lubricant coating during storage and/or insertion, and/or discharging of the lubricant coating during use which can stain clothes of a user. The disclosed devices and methods are directed to mitigating or overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above. WO 2019/092686 PCT/1B2018/058932 (D N 0)co C--I (ND (0 CD C)D CC)
