Yes, condom catheters are external catheters because they fit over the penis to collect urine outside the body. They are connected to a drainage bag or urinary collection system rather than being inserted into the bladder or urethra.
Condom catheters are a type of external urinary catheter and are different from internal catheter types such as intermittent catheters and Foley catheters. Product details should be reviewed carefully to confirm catheter size, material, adhesive style, connection type, and compatibility with the collection system being used.
