What is RU318120-Each Puregold Coude 2-way Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc?

The RU318120-Each Puregold Coude 2-way Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc is a single-use, sterile urinary catheter designed for patients who require intermittent or continuous bladder drainage. Featuring a coude (curved) tip, this 20 French (Fr) catheter is engineered to navigate past obstructions such as an enlarged prostate with minimal trauma. With a 5 cc balloon retention system, it ensures secure placement once inserted. The PTFE coating provides a smooth, low-friction surface to reduce urethral irritation during insertion, enhancing patient comfort and safety.

Who is RU318120-Each Puregold Coude 2-way Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc for?

This catheter is intended for adult patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral strictures, or other conditions causing difficult catheterization.

Healthcare providers and trained caregivers will find it reliable for managing postoperative urinary retention or chronic bladder dysfunction.

How does RU318120-Each Puregold Coude 2-way Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc compare?

Compared to standard polypropylene or latex Foley catheters, the PTFE-coated surface of the Puregold model reduces friction, lowering the risk of urethral injury. Its coude tip offers a distinct advantage over straight-tip catheters in patients with obstructive uropathy. While similar in function to other 20 Fr 5 cc devices, the combination of coating, tip design, and consistent sizing makes it a preferred choice for challenging insertions, outperforming basic models in clinical ease and patient tolerance.
