What is a cathider?

There are several types of catheters but I'm assuming you mean urinary catheters. It is a device that is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to empty the bladder of urine, (the urine comes out through the tubing of the catheter and empties into a bag. Reusing catheters can be dangerous because of the risk of infection. Any bacteria, germs, etc. that touch or enter the tubing can travel up into the bladder and cause acute and chronic infections. Most people who reuse catheters have to be very careful and must dip the tubing and insertion device in boiling water prior to reusing and the risk is still greater than that with disposable catheters

Is there a difference between male and female catheters?

Yes, the length. Catheters are often referred to as male and female but the only difference is the length. Most catheters referred to as male are 16" in length and catheters referred to as female catheters range from 6-8" in length. They are not necessarily gender specific.
