A closed-system catheter is an intermittent catheter packaged with a collection bag or other enclosed components to support a more contained catheterization setup. It is designed to reduce direct handling of the catheter compared with some standard intermittent catheter products.
Closed-system catheters can vary by catheter size, French size, tip style, material, lubrication method, collection bag design, sterility, and included accessories. Product details, manufacturer packaging information, and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm what is included and whether the catheter system matches the intended use.
