Coude Catheters

Professional Coude Tip Catheters for Challenging Catheterization

Coude catheters feature a specialized curved or angled tip designed to navigate urethral obstructions and anatomical challenges with greater ease and patient comfort. These professional-grade urinary catheters are essential medical devices for patients with enlarged prostates, urethral strictures, or false passages, providing a safer alternative to straight-tip catheters in complex catheterization scenarios.

The distinctive curved tip design of coude tip urinary catheters allows healthcare professionals to maneuver past obstructions that would impede standard catheters. Available in sterile, single-use formats with various French sizes and tip angles, these catheters deliver reliable performance for both intermittent and indwelling catheterization procedures.

Clinical Benefits of Coude Catheters

• Enhanced Navigation: Curved tip design facilitates passage through urethral obstructions, strictures, and enlarged prostate tissue


• Reduced Trauma: Angled configuration minimizes urethral wall contact and tissue damage during insertion


• Improved Success Rates: Higher first-attempt catheterization success in patients with anatomical challenges


• Patient Comfort: Smooth, tapered tip reduces discomfort and insertion resistance


• Versatile Options: Available in latex and latex-free materials to accommodate patient sensitivities

Medical Applications & Use Cases

Coude catheters are specifically indicated for male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), post-surgical urethral complications, neurogenic bladder management, and spinal cord injury care. Healthcare facilities, urology practices, and home care settings rely on these specialized catheters for patients requiring intermittent self-catheterization or indwelling catheter placement when standard catheters prove ineffective.
