Closed System Catheters

Professional Closed System Catheters for Safe Urinary Catheterization

Closed system catheters represent the gold standard in sterile urinary catheterization, providing healthcare professionals with pre-connected, sealed drainage systems that significantly reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). These advanced medical devices feature an integrated collection bag connected to the catheter before insertion, eliminating the need for post-insertion connection and maintaining a completely closed sterile environment throughout the catheterization procedure.

Clinical Benefits of Closed Catheter Systems

• Superior Infection Control: Pre-connected design prevents bacterial entry at connection points, reducing CAUTI risk by up to 50% compared to open systems


• No-Touch Technique: Sterile insertion sleeve and integrated system eliminate manual handling, maintaining aseptic conditions throughout placement


• Enhanced Patient Safety: Tamper-evident packaging and single-use design ensure sterility and prevent cross-contamination in hospital and long-term care settings


• Streamlined Workflow: Ready-to-use configuration reduces procedure time and simplifies catheterization protocols for nursing staff


• Regulatory Compliance: Meets CDC guidelines and Joint Commission standards for urinary catheter insertion and maintenance

Medical Applications and Use Cases

Closed system catheters are essential for acute care hospitals, surgical centers, intensive care units, and rehabilitation facilities. Ideal for post-operative urinary retention, critically ill patients requiring accurate output monitoring, neurogenic bladder management, and perioperative procedures. These infection prevention catheters are particularly valuable for immunocompromised patients and long-term catheterization scenarios where CAUTI risk must be minimized.
