Frequently Asked Questions

How does a self-adhering external catheter work?
A self-adhering external catheter has an adhesive coating on the inner surface of the sheath that bonds directly to the skin when the catheter is rolled onto the penis. The adhesive is activated by the warmth and pressure of application and forms a secure bond that holds the catheter in place during wear. This eliminates the need for separate foam tape, adhesive strips, or external securing devices that are required with non-self-adhering catheters. The one-piece design means the catheter and adhesive are integrated into a single component that is applied and removed as a unit.

How do I determine the correct size?
External catheter sizing is based on penile diameter measured at the mid-shaft. The Medium size is 28mm in diameter. Measuring correctly is important — a catheter that is too small will be uncomfortable and may restrict circulation, while one that is too large will not adhere securely and may leak. Use a flexible measuring tape or a sizing guide provided by the manufacturer to measure the diameter before selecting a size. If you are between sizes, consult with a healthcare provider or continence nurse for sizing guidance.

How do I connect this catheter to a Freedom Leg Bag?
The Freedom Mentor External Catheter has a standard drainage tube connector at the tip that connects directly to the inlet tubing of any Freedom Leg Bag or Kit. Connect the catheter drainage tube to the leg bag inlet tubing by pressing the connectors together until they are secure. Ensure the tubing is routed without kinks to allow unobstructed urine flow from the catheter to the bag. Refer to the Freedom Leg Bag instructions for complete assembly and wearing guidance.

How often should the catheter be changed?
External catheters are typically changed daily as part of a routine hygiene and skin care protocol. Daily changes allow inspection of the skin for signs of irritation, breakdown, or infection, and ensure the adhesive is fresh and secure. Some users may change more or less frequently based on clinical guidance from their healthcare provider or continence nurse. Follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider for your specific catheter change schedule.
