External Use: This catheter is specifically designed for external placement, meaning it is inserted into the urethra and remains outside the body. It is typically used in male patients who are unable to tolerate an internal catheter or have specific medical conditions.

Latex Material: The external urethral catheter is made of latex, which provides flexibility and softness for patient comfort during external use. However, it's important to consider latex allergies and use alternative materials, such as silicone or hydrogel-coated latex, for patients with latex sensitivities.

Size Options: The external urethral catheter comes in various sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and needs. Sizes are typically indicated in French (Fr) units, which represent the diameter of the catheter tubing.

Sterility: Similar to other medical catheters, the external urethral catheter is typically supplied sterile and individually packaged to ensure infection control during insertion and use.
