Who is 76408-Box Coloplast Self-CathMale Intermittent Catheter 8Fr, 16 L, Straight Tip, Funnel End, Latex-free for?
This catheter is intended for adult males who require intermittent self-catheterisation due to urinary retention, neurogenic bladder, post-surgical recovery, or spinal cord injury. It suits users who prefer a disposable, latex-free solution and have basic catheterisation skills. Healthcare professionals often recommend it for patients seeking a hygienic, low-maintenance option for regular bladder management.
How does 76408-Box Coloplast Self-CathMale Intermittent Catheter 8Fr, 16 L, Straight Tip, Funnel End, Latex-free compare?
Compared with reusable silicone catheters, this disposable model eliminates the need for cleaning and sterilisation, reducing infection risk at the cost of higher per-use expense. Against larger-diameter intermittent catheters, the 8 Fr size provides a tighter fit for standard male anatomy, decreasing leakage but may be unsuitable for individuals with urethral strictures. Its latex-free construction also differentiates it from traditional latex-based catheters, offering a safer choice for allergy-prone users.
Usage tips and safety
Before each catheterisation, wash hands thoroughly and set up a clean surface. Apply a water-based lubricant if desired, though the catheter’s smooth polymer often slides easily. After drainage, gently withdraw the catheter and dispose of it in a puncture-proof container. Monitor for signs of infection such as redness, pain, or unusual discharge, and contact a healthcare provider promptly if symptoms arise.
Best use cases
- →Daily home bladder management.
- →Post-surgical self-catheterisation.
- →Travel-friendly intermittent drainage.
Is Coloplast Self-CathMale Intermittent Catheter 8Fr, 16 L, Straight Tip, Funnel End, Latex-free right for you?
Patients who perform regular self-catheterisation and need a reliable, latex-free option should consider this Coloplast 8 Fr catheter. It requires basic handling skills; the funnel tip guides insertion for users comfortable with single-use devices. Alternatives include reusable silicone catheters or larger-diameter models for atypical anatomy, but they may lack the convenience of a disposable, allergy-safe design. Consult your healthcare provider to confirm size and frequency.
How it compares: Compared with reusable silicone catheters, this disposable 8 Fr model offers superior convenience and eliminates sterilisation steps, though it incurs higher per-use cost. Against larger-diameter intermittent catheters, it provides a tighter fit for standard male urethras, reducing leakage risk but may not suit patients with strictures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 76408-Box Coloplast Self-CathMale Intermittent Catheter used for?
▾
It is designed for male self-catheterisation to empty the bladder when normal voiding is impaired. The 8 Fr, 16 L catheter provides a sterile, single-use pathway, helping patients manage urinary retention at home or in clinical settings. It can be employed after surgery, during spinal injury recovery, or for chronic neurogenic bladder management.
Does the catheter contain latex?
▾
No. The catheter is explicitly latex-free, using medical-grade polymer materials that minimise the risk of allergic reactions. This makes it suitable for users with latex sensitivity, while still providing the flexibility and smooth surface needed for comfortable insertion. It also complies with standard infection-control guidelines.
How do I insert the funnel-end catheter?
▾
Begin by washing your hands and preparing a sterile field. Lubricate the tip if desired, then hold the catheter with the funnel end facing upward. Gently insert the tip into the urethra until resistance is felt, then advance the straight tube to the marked depth before draining.
Is this catheter suitable for repeated daily use?
▾
Yes, the catheter is intended for repeated daily self-catheterisation, but each unit is single-use only. Users should discard the catheter after each drainage to maintain sterility and prevent infection. For long-term use, ensure a consistent supply and follow your clinician’s schedule.
Can I use this catheter with a drainage bag?
▾
The catheter’s straight 16 L tube easily connects to standard drainage bags or collection containers. Ensure the bag’s connector matches the catheter’s outlet size, typically a 3-mm male luer lock. Secure the connection, then monitor drainage volume as advised by your healthcare provider.
