Indications for Use
This uncoated coudé catheter is intended for men requiring intermittent catheterization, particularly when urethral anatomy (for example, an enlarged prostate) makes passage of a straight catheter more difficult. Its soft, rounded tip and heat-polished eyelets are designed to minimize friction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this catheter require separate lubricant?
Yes, being uncoated, this catheter requires a separate lubricant to be applied before insertion, unlike ready-to-use hydrophilic catheters.
Why choose a coudé tip over a straight one?
The coudé tip eases passage for men whose urethral anatomy presents resistance, for example due to an enlarged prostate.
Is this catheter reusable?
No, this is a sterile, single-use catheter.
