Selecting the right French Size (FR) for a Self-Cath Soft Catheter is crucial for comfort, ease of insertion, and effective drainage. French Size refers to the catheter’s diameter; a larger FR allows for faster drainage, while a smaller FR can be more comfortable for those with sensitive urethras or strictures. Commonly available sizes range from 12 FR to 16 FR, ensuring there’s an option to suit various anatomical and medical needs. For example, the Coloplast 112 offers a 12 FR size, ideal for those requiring a narrower catheter, while the Coloplast 116 provides a 16 FR for faster flow. The Coloplast 114 offers a mid-range 14 FR. The variety of French Sizes available ensures users can find the optimal fit for their individual requirements.
