Indications for Use
This coudé catheter is intended for men requiring intermittent catheterization, particularly when urethral anatomy (for example, benign prostatic hyperplasia) makes passage of a straight catheter more difficult. The coudé tip eases navigation through the prostatic region. The ready-to-use hydrophilic coating eliminates the need to handle a separate lubricant, simplifying catheterization away from home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a coudé catheter over a straight one?
The coudé tip eases passage for men whose urethral anatomy presents resistance, for example due to an enlarged prostate.
Do I need to add lubricant before use?
No, the hydrophilic coating is already activated by the saline solution in the package, and the catheter is ready to use as soon as it's opened.
Is this catheter reusable?
No, this is a sterile, single-use catheter.
