The 57010118-Each Coude Tiemann One-eye Latex Catheter 18 Fr 16 is a medical-grade urinary catheter designed for intermittent use.

Each unit is sterile, individually packaged, and intended for single-use only to minimize infection risk.

Who is 57010118-Each Coude Tiemann One-eye Latex Catheter 18 Fr 16 for?
This catheter is intended for individuals requiring intermittent urinary drainage, especially males with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral strictures. It's suitable for use in home care, long-term facilities, or clinical environments by trained caregivers or self-catheterizing patients. Due to its latex content, it is not recommended for those with latex allergies.
How does 57010118-Each Coude Tiemann One-eye Latex Catheter 18 Fr 16 compare?
Compared to standard polypropylene or hydrophilic catheters, this latex Coude Tiemann model offers greater flexibility and tip control, beneficial for difficult insertions. However, it lacks the lubricity of pre-coated catheters and requires separate lubrication. Unlike silicone or latex-free alternatives, it may pose allergy risks but remains cost-effective. It is comparable in size and function to other 18 Fr 16-inch Coude catheters but stands out for its Tiemann tip design, which is more tapered than standard Coude tips, aiding in navigating strictures.
