Who is CQM18C-Each Cure Male Coude Intermittent Catheter 18 Fr 16 for?
This catheter is ideal for men managing neurogenic bladder, urinary retention, or post-surgical voiding dysfunction. It’s especially beneficial for those with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral strictures where a standard straight catheter may not pass easily. Patients performing clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) will find the coude tip improves ease of use and comfort.
How does CQM18C-Each Cure Male Coude Intermittent Catheter 18 Fr 16 compare?
Compared to standard polyurethane or PVC straight-tip intermittent catheters, the CQM18C-Each offers superior navigation through obstructed urethras due to its curved tip. While standard catheters may require multiple attempts or medical assistance in complex cases, the coude design enhances first-pass success. It matches premium brands in performance but is offered at a competitive per-unit cost. Unlike hydrophilic catheters, it does not require pre-lubrication, though manual lubrication is recommended for smooth insertion.
Best use cases
- →Intermittent self-catheterization
