FAQ
The difference between standard and extra InView catheters made by Hollister Incontinence Supplies is most likely related to the size and length of the catheter.
Standard InView catheters are likely to be of a standard length and size, designed to fit most people and intended for short-term, intermittent use.
Extra InView catheters, on the other hand, may be longer or have a larger diameter to accommodate people with specific needs, such as those with an enlarged prostate.
It is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and recommendation on the appropriate type of catheter for your needs. They will take into consideration your anatomy, personal preferences, and any specific medical conditions you may have.

Special InView catheters may have unique features designed to meet specific needs, such as:
- Coated or lubricated catheters for easier insertion
- Clear or colored catheters to assist with visualization
- Catheters with a hydrophilic coating that helps reduce friction and discomfort during insertion

A condom catheter is a type of urinary catheter that is worn like a condom and is used to manage urinary incontinence. Unlike traditional catheters, which are inserted into the bladder through the urethra, condom catheters are worn on the outside of the body and are attached to a collection bag.
Condom catheters are typically made of a soft, flexible material, such as latex or silicone, and are designed to fit snugly over the penis. They are most commonly used by men with urinary incontinence and can be an alternative to traditional catheterization.
It is important to use condom catheters as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure proper use and to reduce the risk of complications, such as urinary tract infections.
The length of time that you can wear a condom catheter will depend on several factors, including the type of condom catheter you are using, your individual needs and circumstances, and the recommendations of your healthcare provider.
In general, it is recommended to change a condom catheter at least every 24 hours or as often as recommended by your healthcare provider. It is also important to monitor the fit and placement of the catheter and to adjust it as needed to ensure proper fit and comfort.
Wearing a condom catheter for an extended period of time can increase the risk of complications, such as skin irritation and urinary tract infections, so it is important to follow the guidelines provided by your healthcare provider and to seek medical attention if you experience any discomfort or issues.
Here are the general steps for using an external male catheter (also known as a condom catheter):
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection.
- Remove the catheter from its packaging and inspect it for any defects or damage.
- Apply a water-based lubricant to the tip of the catheter to ease insertion.
- Hold the catheter in place at the base of the penis and roll it up the shaft until it fits snugly over the penis.
- Attach the catheter to the collection bag using the connector provided. The collection bag should be positioned below the level of the bladder to allow for proper drainage.
- Adjust the catheter and collection bag as needed to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Empty the collection bag as needed and monitor it for any leaks or problems.
It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and any recommendations from your healthcare provider when using an external male catheter. It is also important to change the catheter regularly, typically at least once every 24 hours, to reduce the risk of complications and to maintain hygiene. If you experience any discomfort, irritation, or issues while using the catheter, it is important to seek medical attention.
