SSND-SHRTCATH 3.5
Recommended for open bore options
The SSND-SHRTCATH 3.5 is a simple, single-taper catheter plug with a rounded safety flange, available in four diameters (7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 11mm), all sharing the same 3.5" overall length.
Details
- Overall length: 3.5"
- Insertable length: ~2.8" (71 mm)
- Taper length: ~2.5" (65 mm)
Size table
| Max diameter | Retention valley | Flange diameter |
| 7 mm | 5.3 mm | 12.0 mm |
| 8 mm | 5.7 mm | 13.7 mm |
| 9 mm | 6.8 mm | 15.5 mm |
| 11 mm | 8.3 mm | 18.9 mm |
How it works
The tip tapers gradually over about 2.5" up to its maximum diameter, then narrows into the retention valley just before the rounded safety flange, letting the surrounding muscle hold the piece in place.
Choosing your silicone firmness
Bob recommends #10 (Medium) for most users, or #00-50 (Soft) for daily, extended-wear comfort.
Color options
#18 and #30 are the only silicone options available in pure translucent. #00-50 and #10 base colors are translucent white and can be mixed with any standard color.
Please note
This is a simple, beginner-friendly design across all four sizes, and many customers use it specifically for managing incontinence, including cases related to prostate treatment.
Use appropriate lubrication and never force insertion. Stop immediately if you experience pain, bleeding, or significant discomfort. Inspect the piece before each use and do not use it if damaged.
