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 ideal for men who have difficulty with straight-tip catheters due to anatomical challenges, offering smoother passage and reduced trauma during insertion.
Does the SpeedicathFlex Coude Pro require additional lubrication?
▾
No, the SpeedicathFlex Coude Pro is pre-lubricated with a hydrophilic coating that activates with water. No additional gel is needed, making it ready to use right out of the package and ensuring consistent, smooth insertion without extra steps.
How do you use a hydrophilic intermittent catheter?
▾
To use, open the sterile package, add water if required (though some are pre-hydrated), wait a few seconds for the coating to activate, then gently insert. The hydrophilic surface becomes extremely slippery when wet, allowing for atraumatic passage through the urethra.
Is the 6220012-Box Coloplast SpeedicathFlex Coude Pro sterile?
▾
Yes, each catheter comes in sterile, single-use packaging to prevent infection. It's designed for one-time use to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, especially important for long-term intermittent catheterization users.
Can women use the SpeedicathFlex Coude Pro catheter?
