What is 6011216-Each Coude 2-way Silicone-elastomer Coated Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc?
The 6011216-Each Coude 2-way Silicone-elastomer Coated Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc is a sterile, medical-grade urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage.

- Sterile single-use — packaged to maintain sterility until point of use.
- 16 Fr size — suitable for adult patients requiring standard-diameter catheterization.
Who is 6011216-Each Coude 2-way Silicone-elastomer Coated Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc for?
This catheter is intended for patients with difficulty voiding due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral strictures, or post-surgical urinary retention. It is commonly used in clinical, home care, and long-term care settings by trained caregivers or healthcare professionals. The silicone coating supports patients prone to irritation from latex catheters.
How does 6011216-Each Coude 2-way Silicone-elastomer Coated Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc compare?
Compared to standard latex Foley catheters, this model offers enhanced comfort and resistance to encrustation due to full silicone-elastomer coating. It outperforms uncoated latex catheters in durability and patient tolerance. While not latex-free, it provides a middle ground between cost and performance when compared to fully silicone catheters, which are softer but more expensive and less rigid for insertion.
Best use cases
- →BPH or prostate obstruction drainage
- →Post-operative urinary retention
- →Short-term catheterization in hospitals
- →Home care for chronic voiding issues
- →Urethral stricture management
Is Coude 2-way Silicone-elastomer Coated Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc right for you?
This catheter is best for patients with obstructive uropathy or difficulty inserting straight catheters due to anatomy. Suitable for use by healthcare providers or trained caregivers. Not for latex-allergic individuals. Alternatives include fully silicone catheters for sensitive patients or hydrophilic-coated options for easier insertion. Always confirm size and tip type with a clinician.
How it compares: Compared to standard polypropylene or uncoated latex catheters, this silicone-elastomer coated model resists encrustation better and improves comfort. It’s more rigid than all-silicone catheters, aiding insertion, but less suitable for latex-allergic patients than non-latex alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Coude tip Foley catheter used for?
▾
A Coude tip catheter has a curved tip designed to navigate past obstructions like an enlarged prostate or urethral stricture, making insertion easier in difficult cases compared to straight-tip catheters.
Does the 6011216-Each catheter contain latex?
▾
Yes, this catheter is made of latex with a silicone-elastomer coating. It should not be used by individuals with latex allergies. Consider non-latex alternatives if sensitivity is a concern.
How do you insert a Coude tip Foley catheter?
▾
Insertion requires sterile technique. Lubricate the tip, align the curved end upward, and advance gently through the urethra. The bend helps bypass prostate enlargement. Always follow clinical guidelines.
