Choose the Right Catheter
The right catheter depends on the person's diagnosis, mobility, and whether it will be self-managed or carer-assisted. Intermittent catheters are inserted to empty the bladder and removed immediately after,preferred for ongoing bladder management as they carry a lower infection risk. Indwelling (Foley) catheters remain in place and drain continuously, typically used when regular self-catheterisation is not practical.
Sizing is measured in French (Fr) gauge with the smallest appropriate size is generally recommended to minimise discomfort. For a detailed comparison of both types, read our guide on indwelling vs intermittent catheters.
For catheters already in use, browse compatible drainage bags and catheter accessories to complete the care setup.
