What Are Closed System Catheters for Women?
Closed system catheters are intermittent catheters that come pre-lubricated or ready to use and include an attached collection bag. This all-in-one design can be helpful for women who want a more self-contained catheterization option, particularly when access to a toilet or a private restroom is limited.
In this video, 180 Medical Founder Todd Brown explains the basic features of closed system catheters and how they can support a convenient, touch-free catheterization process. For female catheter users, features such as an integrated collection bag and reduced handling may be especially useful when catheterizing away from home, while traveling, or in situations where positioning is more challenging.
Closed system catheters may include features such as:
- A pre-lubricated or hydrophilic intermittent catheter
- An attached or integrated collection bag
- Touch-free handling features
- An introducer tip, depending on the product
- Additional insertion supplies, depending on the kit
