Flocath Quick Hydrophilic Coude Catheter, 10 Fr 16

What is RU220600100 Flocath Quick Hydrophilic Coude Catheter, 10 Fr 16?

The Flocath Quick is a ready-to-use, single-use intermittent urinary catheter with a hydrophilic coating and a coude (curved) tip. It ships as a complete kit that includes a 0.9% saline activation pouch and a protective catheter sleeve, so users can hydrate the coating and insert the catheter without touching the shaft directly. This 10 Fr, 16-inch length is sized for adult use.

Key features

• Hydrophilic coating — activates with saline to create a slick, low-friction surface for gentler insertion and withdrawal.
• Coude tip — angled tip helps navigate strictures, an enlarged prostate, or a tight bladder neck where a straight tip can stall.
• 10 Fr diameter — a common adult size that balances flow rate with patient comfort.
• 16-inch length — suited to male anatomy and intended for full bladder drainage.
• Integrated saline pouch — 0.9% sterile saline is built into the package, so no separate water source is needed to activate the coating.
• Protective insertion sleeve — lets users guide the catheter without skin-to-catheter contact, supporting a no-touch technique.
• Single-use sterile design — each unit is individually packaged to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and urinary tract infection.

Who is RU220600100 Flocath Quick Hydrophilic Coude Catheter, 10 Fr 16 for?

This catheter is a good fit for adult men who self-catheterize at home and have difficulty passing a straight-tip catheter due to prostate enlargement, urethral strictures, false passages, or a high bladder neck. It also works well for caregivers and clinicians who need a self-contained, no-touch kit for use outside a sterile field, such as in long-term care, rehab settings, or while traveling. Users should be comfortable with basic clean intermittent catheterization technique or have hands-on guidance from a urology clinician.

How does RU220600100 Flocath Quick Hydrophilic Coude Catheter, 10 Fr 16 compare?

Compared with uncoated PVC catheters that require a separate lubricating jelly, this hydrophilic option reduces prep steps and tends to feel smoother on insertion. Versus straight-tip hydrophilic catheters, the coude tip is the better choice when the urethra has known obstructions or curvature, though straight tips remain simpler for users without those issues. Against closed-system "kit" catheters that include collection bags, this product is more streamlined and lower cost, but it is best used near a toilet or external drainage container rather than for ambulatory bag drainage.
