The Wide Band is a style of catheter with a silicone medical adhesive surface that is 70 percent larger to provide a more secure fit. These external catheters for males are three inches wide and come individually packaged for convenience. The breathable silicone material is latex free and does not require the use of additional adhesive because it is already self-adhering. The Wide Band catheter is made by Rochester Medical Group, which is now part of Bard Medical.
An External Urinary Catheter is a male incontinence condom that fits over the penis and connects to catheter tubing and a urine catheter bag. Some external catheters for males are self-adhesive, while others require the use of adhesive strips. Catheter sizes for men vary by sheath length to assure a comfortable and secure fit. Express Medical supply carries a reusable catheter as well as single-use catheters that can be worn for up to 24 hours.
Rochester Catheters are available in many different styles such as external catheters for males, a hydrophilic intermittent urinary catheter, and a female urinary catheter. Rochester's Magic 3 line is composed of straight and coude tip catheters, both of which are latex-free and gentle to use. Rochester Spirit catheters are self-adhesive external catheters for males that wick away moisture to protect the skin.
One popular type of single-use catheter is a Self Adhering Male External Catheter.

Bard urology also makes a silicone external condom catheter specially designed for those with a retracted penis.
