Intermittent Catheters for Men
Whether you’re heading to the office, the gym, or traveling, you need a routine that is fast, effective, and completely discreet. If you’re struggling with discomfort or difficulty during catheter insertion, you deserve a partner who understands the challenges of male self-catheterization.
At Numotion, we specialize in male catheters designed for the modern man. From compact male catheters that fit in your pocket to closed system catheters for easy use on the go. We provide the latest technology to ensure your bladder management is the least complicated part of your day.
Understanding Your Options
Male anatomy catheters are typically 16 inches long to safely reach the bladder. While the goal is simple drainage, the type of male urethral catheter you choose depends on your physical needs and your daily routine.
Intermittent Straight Catheters
- How it Works: These are straight-tipped tubes designed to drain directly into a toilet
,urinal, or collection bag. - Materials: Available in PVC (firm), 100% Silicone (latex-free), or Red Rubber (maximum flexibility).
- Best For: Men who have no obstructions to the bladder and prefer a reliable, cost-effective solution for use at home, or anywhere life takes them.
Coudé Tip Catheters
- The Curved Tip: Unlike a straight catheter, a Coudé tip catheter has a slight curve at the end.
- Why It’s Used: This unique shape allows the catheter to navigate safely past an enlarged prostate, scar tissue, or urethral strictures that a straight tip might find difficult to pass.
- Clinical Advantage: If your doctor has mentioned “prostate obstruction,”a Coudé tip may help improve comfort and successful insertion.
Closed System Catheter Kits
- Integrated Collection Bag: This closed system catheter is housed inside its own sterile bag. You can catheterize anywhere without needing a restroom.
- Touchless Insertion: These kits often include a “sterile kit” and an introducer tip that bypasses surface bacteria.
- Infection Control: Designed to help reduce exposure to bacteria and may lower the risk of infection when used properly
Choosing the Right Lubrication Type
Because a male urethral catheter is longer, the type of lubricant you choose plays a major role in your comfort and the speed of your routine.
Uncoated
- The Benefit: You have total control over the amount of gel used.
- How it Works: You manually apply a gel lubricant packet to the catheter before insertion.
- Best For: Users who prefer a specific brand of lubricant or are looking for a familiar, cost-effective option.
Gel-Based
- The Benefit: You have total control over the amount of gel used.
- How it Works: You manually apply a gel lubricant packet to the catheter before insertion.
- Best For: Users who prefer a specific brand of lubricant or are looking for a familiar, cost-effective option.
Hydrophilic
- The Benefit: Some research suggests that hydrophilic catheters may decrease urethral irritation and may lower the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in certain users. These feature a specialized coating chemically bonded to the surface that remains exceptionally lubricated throughout the entire process effectively reducing friction and sticking.
- How it Works: A small sachet of water or saline is included inside each package. Once you “pop” this sachet, the specialized coating reacts immediately, providing instant and uniform lubrication across the entire surface of the catheter. Hydrophilic catheters are also available pre-lubricated and ready to use from the package, eliminating an additional step.
- Best For: Men prone to frequent UTIs or those who experience discomfort when using standard gel.
Smart Features for Better Performance
These design details make intermittent catheters for men faster and more reliable:
Introducer Tip
A flexible tip on a closed system catheter that bypasses bacteria at the start of the urethra. Designed to help reduce contact with bacteria at the urethral opening.
Sachet
An internal water packet for hydrophilic catheters that helps maintain consistent lubrication during insertion and removal.
Gripper Sleeve
A sliding sleeve that lets you guide the male urethral catheter without touching the tube. Provides better control and keeps the process mess-free.
Pre-lubricated & Compact
Ready-to-use catheters come pre-lubricated in pocket-sized packaging which are great for travel and maximum discretion.
