Finding the Right Female Intermittent Catheter
Female intermittent catheters are available in different lengths, sizes, and configurations. The Self-Cath® Closed System Female Single Unit is designed with a 6-inch length and 14 Fr size.
Product considerations include:
- 14 Fr size: French size refers to catheter diameter.
- 6-inch length: A shorter catheter length is designed for female anatomy.
- Closed-system design: The catheter connects to an attached collection bag rather than requiring a separate receptacle.
- Pre-lubricated surface: Ready to use without adding separate lubricant.
- Pull-apart packaging: Allows the catheter to be accessed when needed.
The appropriate catheter size and configuration can vary by individual. A healthcare professional can help determine which option is appropriate for your catheterization routine.

FAQs About Coloplast Self-Cath® Closed System for Females
What is a closed system intermittent catheter?
A closed system intermittent catheter combines the catheter and urine collection bag into one system. This allows urine to drain into the attached bag rather than a separate toilet or collection container.
What is the difference between a closed system and a regular intermittent catheter?
A regular intermittent catheter typically drains into a toilet or separate collection container. A closed system has an attached collection bag, which can be useful when a suitable receptacle is not readily available.
What size is the Coloplast Self-Cath® Closed System for females?
This product is a 14 Fr, 6-inch female catheter. Catheter size and length should be selected according to individual needs and healthcare provider recommendations.
What does 14 Fr mean on a catheter?
Fr, or French size, refers to the catheter's diameter. A higher French number indicates a larger catheter diameter. The appropriate size depends on the individual's needs and should be determined with guidance from a healthcare professional.
When might a closed system catheter be useful?
A closed system may be useful when draining urine into a toilet, commode, or bedpan is not practical, such as when catheterizing away from home or in other situations where a separate collection container isn't readily available.
