Frequently Asked Questions
What is a coude tip catheter used for?
▾
A coude tip catheter has a curved tip designed to navigate past obstructions like an enlarged prostate or urethral stricture. It's commonly used by men who have difficulty inserting straight-tip catheters due to anatomical blockages, offering smoother access to the bladder.
