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 in men with difficulty passing a straight catheter, offering improved access to the bladder with less resistance and trauma during insertion.
Does the Cure hydrophilic catheter require additional lubrication?
▾
No, the Cure hydrophilic catheter does not need extra lubrication. Its coating absorbs purified water inside the packaging, becoming slippery upon activation. This ensures a smooth surface from insertion to removal, reducing friction and user effort without messy gels.
How do you use a no-touch catheter?
▾
To use a no-touch catheter, open the package and hold it by the textured gripper sleeve. Allow the hydrophilic coating to hydrate inside the pouch, then insert without touching the shaft. This maintains sterility and reduces contamination risk, especially important for self-catheterization in non-clinical settings.
Is the CQHM14C-Each catheter latex-free?
▾
Yes, the CQHM14C-Each Cure 14 Fr Hydrophilic Coude Catheter is not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, DINP, or BPA. This makes it suitable for users with chemical sensitivities or allergies, reducing the risk of irritation or adverse reactions during use.

▾
No, the Cure hydrophilic coude catheter is designed for single use only. Reuse compromises sterility, coating integrity, and increases infection risk. Always dispose of after one use and use a new catheter for each session to ensure safety and effectiveness.
