What to Know About SpeediCath Compact Catheters
The Coloplast SpeediCath Compact Female Catheter and Male Catheter are designed to make carrying and storing your catheter supplies a little easier. The male length catheter extends or telescopes to its full length before use, allowing it to fit into compact packaging.
Like other SpeediCath catheters, the Compact line features a hydrophilic coating that is activated and ready to use right out of the package. There is no need to add water or separate lubricant before catheterization.
The catheter’s design also helps limit direct contact with the catheter tube during insertion. SpeediCath Compact catheters are available in male and female lengths, with several options to fit different needs and routines.
SpeediCath Compact Catheter Features
- Pre-hydrated and ready to use right out of the package
- Available with an optional urine collection chamber
- Compact packaging that's easy to use and carry
- Design that helps limit direct hand contact with the catheter tube
- Less than half the size of standard urinary catheters
- PVC- and phthalate-free
SpeediCath Compact Catheters for Men and Women
180 Medical carries several SpeediCath Compact options for women and men in discreet options that can help make the catheters easier to carry during your day or pack for traveling.
SpeediCath Compact Female Catheter
The SpeediCath Compact Female Catheter comes in a compact package that can fit into a purse, makeup bag, pocket, or supply bag. The catheter extends to its full length before use and has an activated hydrophilic coating, so it is ready to use when opened.
SpeediCath Compact Plus for Women
The SpeediCath Compact Plus for Women offers additional catheter length while maintaining the compact design of the SpeediCath Compact line. It also features an activated hydrophilic coating and is ready to use right out of the package.
SpeediCath Compact Male Catheter
The SpeediCath Compact Male Catheter has a telescoping design that allows the catheter to fit inside a smaller package. Before use, the catheter extends to its full male length.
SpeediCath Compact Catheter Sets for Men and Women
SpeediCath Compact catheter sets pair the compact catheter design with an attached urine collection bag. The bag allows urine to be collected without catheterizing directly into a toilet.

How Can I Find the Right Catheter for Me?
Catheters are not one-size-fits-all. What works well for one person may not be the best fit for someone else.
SpeediCath Compact may be a good option if you are interested in a hydrophilic catheter with compact packaging, but it's just one of the many catheter choices available. Your healthcare provider can help determine which catheter products are appropriate for you.
180 Medical’s Catheter Product Specialists can help you compare available options, understand your insurance coverage, and request catheter samples when available. If you decide to switch to a different catheter type or size, we can also help coordinate any prescription information your insurance plan requires.
