Know your catheter

An intermittent catheter is a single-use medical device used to temporarily drain urine from the bladder when a person is unable to do so naturally. Here is what the terms on this page mean.

French size The catheter’s diameter: 1 Fr = 0.33 mm. BD colour codes each size on the funnel or the Sure Grip™ sleeve.
Straight or coudé tip Straight (Nelaton) tips are indicated for most insertions. Coudé (Tiemann) tips are curved, for patients with an enlarged prostate or strictures.
Hydrophilic or uncoated Hydrophilic catheters become slippery when wet, either ready to use or activated with sterile water. Uncoated catheters need a water-soluble lubricant.
Non-touch technique A protective sleeve or grip allows the catheter to be guided during insertion without directly touching the catheter shaft, helping reduce the risk of contamination.

Use the catheter type and size your healthcare provider prescribed.

BD catheter FAQ

What is the difference between Magic3™ and BD® Ready-To-Use?

Magic3™ is a 100% silicone hydrophilic catheter packaged with its own sterile water. BD® Ready-To-Use is a polyurethane catheter with a PVP hydrophilic coating that is ready straight out of the package, with no water to add.

Do I need lubricant with a BD catheter?

Not with the hydrophilic Magic3™ or Ready-To-Use catheters. The uncoated BD® Intermittent (PVC) and Bard® Red Rubber catheters need a water-soluble lubricant.

What does coudé mean?

A coudé (Tiemann) catheter has a curved tip. On BD® uncoated catheters, a guiding notch on the funnel shows which way the tip points.

Which BD catheters are latex-free?

BD® Intermittent, Magic3™ and Ready-To-Use catheters are not made with natural rubber latex. Bard® Red Rubber catheters contain natural rubber latex.

How do I pick a French size?

Use the French size recommended by your healthcare provider. French size measures the catheter’s diameter (1 Fr = 0.33 mm) and is colour coded on the funnel or the Sure Grip™ sleeve.

Who can I call with questions?
