Unlike uncoated or gel-lubricated catheters, it requires no additional prep, minimizing contamination risk. The coude tip offers an advantage over straight-tip catheters for men with anatomical challenges. While more expensive than non-hydrophilic options, its ease of use, safety, and comfort justify the cost for many long-term users.
