The main difference between female and male intermittent catheters is catheter length. Female intermittent catheters are typically shorter, while male intermittent catheters are usually longer to match anatomical differences.
Both types are used temporarily to drain the bladder and are removed after urine has drained. Intermittent catheters may also vary by French size, tip style, material, lubrication type, and packaging, so product details should be reviewed carefully before ordering.
