The end type of a catheter—such as funnel end or luer end—affects how the catheter is handled, connected, and disposed of. A funnel end is user-friendly, often color-coded, and allows for easy connection to drainage bags, making it a popular choice for routine self-catheterization. A luer end is more compact and may be preferable for users who don’t require a drainage bag connection. For instance, the Coloplast 214 Self-Cath Female, 14 FR and Coloplast 212 Self-Cath Female, 12 FR both feature a funnel end, while the Coloplast 240 Self-Cath Female, 10 FR offers a luer end for those who need a more discreet option. Having both funnel and luer end types available allows users to select the design that best fits their daily routine and comfort level.
