How to Self-Catheterize for Males

Back to Home

We understand that men have specific concerns when it comes to learning how to use male catheters. That's why 180 Medical provides in-depth information on how to use closed system catheters, hydrophilic catheters, and intermittent straight catheters for men.

Please click on the type of catheter below that you want to learn how to use.

Pick one of the following:

Closed System

Closed system catheters are self-contained, sterile, pre-lubricated catheters kept safe inside collection bags.

Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic catheters stay optimally hydrated to promote excellent gliding properties during catheterization.

Straight and Coudé catheters are uncoated catheters, which means you must manually add lubrication before insertion.
