About RU318320-Each Puregold Coude/tiemann 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 20 Fr 30 Cc
What is RU318320-Each Puregold Coude/tiemann 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 20 Fr 30 Cc?
The RU318320-Each Puregold Coude/tiemann 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 20 Fr 30 Cc is a medical-grade urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage. Constructed from natural latex rubber, it features a specialized Coude or Tiemann tip—a curved, elongated nose that facilitates easier passage through narrowed or obstructed urethras, such as those affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). With a 20 French (Fr) diameter and a 30 cc balloon capacity, this two-way catheter allows for both insertion and urine drainage through separate lumens. The catheter is colored yellow for easy identification and clinical use.
Key features
- Curved Tiemann tip — aids navigation through challenging urethral anatomy.
- 20 Fr size — suitable for adult patients requiring standard-diameter catheterization.
- 30 cc balloon retention — ensures secure placement in the bladder.
- Latex material — flexible and durable for smooth insertion.
- Two-way design — enables inflation and drainage via dual lumens.
- Yellow color coding — improves visibility and differentiation during use.

While silicone catheters are preferred for long-term use and latex-allergic patients, this latex version provides cost-effective performance for short-term applications.

Is Puregold Coude/tiemann 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 20 Fr 30 Cc right for you?
This catheter is best for healthcare providers or caregivers managing patients with challenging urinary catheterization needs. Suitable for clinical or home use, it requires basic medical training for safe insertion. For latex-allergic patients, consider silicone or hydrogel-coated alternatives. Always confirm French size and balloon volume with a physician. Compare tip types—straight, Coude, or Tiemann—based on patient anatomy.
How it compares: Compared to standard straight-tip Foley catheters, the Tiemann tip offers better navigation through urethral obstructions. It is more flexible than rigid catheters but less suitable for long-term use than silicone options. Priced competitively, it offers a functional middle ground for short-term clinical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tiemann tip catheter used for?
▾
A Tiemann tip catheter is designed for patients with urethral obstructions, such as from an enlarged prostate. Its curved, elongated tip allows easier passage through tight or angled urethral pathways compared to standard straight-tip catheters, making it ideal for difficult catheterizations in clinical or home settings.
Does the RU318320-Each catheter contain latex?
▾
Yes, this catheter is made from natural latex rubber. Patients with known latex allergies should avoid using it to prevent allergic reactions. Consider synthetic alternatives like silicone or latex-free catheters if sensitivity is a concern.
How do you insert a Coude/tiemann tip catheter?
▾
Insertion requires sterile technique. Lubricate the tip, gently insert into the urethra, and advance the curved tip upward to navigate past obstructions like the prostate. Once in the bladder and urine flows, inflate the 30 cc balloon to secure placement.
Is the RU318320-Each Puregold catheter reusable?
▾
No, this is a single-use, disposable medical device. It should be used once and properly discarded after removal to prevent infection and ensure patient safety. Reuse increases the risk of contamination and urethral damage.
Can this catheter be used for long-term drainage?
▾
It is intended for short-term use only. Prolonged use may increase the risk of infection, encrustation, or latex degradation. For long-term indwelling needs, consider silicone or antimicrobial-coated catheters designed for extended wear.
