Coloplast Self Catheter Straight Tip Female 12 Fr 6" 30/bx single

Why Choose Coloplast Self-Cath Straight Tip Female Catheter 12Fr 6"

The Self-Cath at 12Fr female length targets the patient population that requires the smallest effective catheter calibre for female intermittent catheterisation — users with urethral sensitivity, a history of urethral irritation from standard 14Fr catheters, or clinician direction toward the smallest calibre that achieves adequate drainage flow. Female urethra anatomy at the smaller end of the adult size range may not accommodate 14Fr comfortably for repeated daily catheterisation events, and 12Fr provides the reduced-diameter alternative. The 6-inch female length is 1 inch shorter than the standard 7-inch female format — the shorter length provides a more compact handling profile that some users find easier to position and insert without excess external tubing length creating contamination risk during the procedure. The Self-Cath is Coloplast's established PVC straight-tip intermittent catheter — a straightforward standard format for users who do not require hydrophilic coating. Confirm lubrication status — some Self-Cath variants are pre-lubricated and others require separate lubricant — by exact SKU before dispensing. 30 per box supports 2–3 weeks of daily catheterisation at 2–4 catheterisations per day. Use under healthcare provider direction.

Usage & Care

Confirm lubrication status — pre-lubricated or requiring separate lubricant — by exact SKU. Insert using clean or sterile technique as directed by the healthcare provider. Apply appropriate lubricant to the full catheter length before insertion if the catheter is not pre-lubricated. Drain the bladder completely before removing. Dispose of the single-use catheter — do not reuse. Follow the prescribed catheterisation schedule and hygiene protocol. Consult a healthcare provider if burning, haematuria, fever, or other symptoms develop.
