Gentlecath Tiemann Tip Pvc Urinary Catheter, 10 Fr, Male 16

What is 51501012-Each Gentlecath Tiemann Tip Pvc Urinary Catheter, 10 Fr, Male 16?

This is a single, uncoated intermittent urinary catheter from GentleCath, built with a Tiemann (coude) tip and a flexible PVC shaft. It measures 10 French in diameter and 16 inches (405 mm) in length, sized specifically for adult male anatomy. The curved tip is designed to navigate the natural bend of the male urethra, which can be especially helpful when a straight tip is difficult to advance past the prostate.

Key features

• Tiemann (coude) tip — angled, tapered end that helps guide the catheter around urethral curves and through tighter passages.
• 10 Fr diameter — a smaller-gauge option, useful for users who find larger sizes uncomfortable or have a history of strictures.
• 16 inch male length — full 405 mm shaft sized for adult male users rather than female or pediatric anatomy.
• Polished, rounded eyelets — drainage holes are smoothed to reduce drag against the urethral wall on both insertion and withdrawal.
• Color-coded funnel — the connector is tinted by French size, so caregivers and users can confirm the gauge at a glance.
• Flexible PVC construction — firm enough to advance smoothly, soft enough to track through curves without kinking.
• Sold each — individually packaged unit, convenient for trying the product or supplementing an existing supply.

Who is 51501012-Each Gentlecath Tiemann Tip Pvc Urinary Catheter, 10 Fr, Male 16 for?

This catheter is aimed at adult men who self-catheterize for neurogenic bladder, urinary retention, post-surgical drainage, or BPH-related voiding issues, and who have been advised by a clinician to use a coude tip rather than a straight tip. It suits users comfortable with clean intermittent catheterization at home, at work, or while traveling, as well as nurses and caregivers managing intermittent bladder drainage in a clinical setting. Anyone new to coude catheters should confirm tip orientation technique with their urology provider before first use.

How does 51501012-Each Gentlecath Tiemann Tip Pvc Urinary Catheter, 10 Fr, Male 16 compare?

Compared with straight-tip PVC catheters, the Tiemann curve makes a real difference for users with an enlarged prostate or urethral resistance, where a straight tip tends to stall. Versus hydrophilic or pre-lubricated closed-system catheters, this is an uncoated option that requires separate lubricant but costs significantly less per use. Against silicone or red rubber alternatives, the PVC shaft offers a firmer, more predictable feel during insertion at a lower price point.
