Bard Lubricath Tiemann 2-Way Med Olive Coupe-Tip Single-Eye Foley Cath 16Fr 5cc 12/Bx

Why Choose Bard Lubricath Tiemann 2-Way Medium Olive Coudé-Tip Single-Eye Foley Catheter 16Fr 5cc 12/Bx

This catheter is built for indwelling urinary drainage in patients where prostatic urethral resistance, urethral stricture, or anatomical variation makes a standard straight-tip Foley catheter difficult or unsafe to insert — and where the clinician has specifically directed the Tiemann tip configuration with 16Fr calibre and routine 5cc retention balloon. The Tiemann tip is a specific coudé tip variant — narrower and more elongated than a standard coudé tip, with a slight curve along an extended tapered profile. The Tiemann shape supports navigation through tighter urethral passages and resistance zones where a standard coudé might still deflect. The "medium olive" descriptor refers to the small olive-shaped enlargement at the tip itself — providing a defined dilation profile useful when the catheter must pass through a known stricture or narrowing. Tiemann tips are clinical-direction-only devices. The single drainage eye places the drainage opening directly behind the olive tip on the outer curve of the catheter — supporting directed drainage flow that matches the tip orientation. The hydrogel-coated Lubricath shaft absorbs water and forms a slick lubricated surface against the urethral wall, reducing insertion friction and reducing protein adsorption and encrustation across the indwelling wear period. The 5cc balloon is the standard routine retention balloon volume — distinct from the 30cc haemostatic compression balloon used after specific urological procedures. The 16Fr French size is a slightly larger adult specialty calibre. Latex-allergic patients require silicone Tiemann alternatives — confirm material content on the specific SKU before use. The 12/Bx case format suits routine specialty catheter resupply at the clinical and facility level. Bard (now BD/Becton Dickinson) is a long-established US-origin urology brand with deep specialisation in specialty Foley catheter design. Use only under healthcare professional direction by clinicians trained in Tiemann tip insertion technique.

Key Features

✔ Bard / Bardex Lubricath Foley catheter — specialty Tiemann configuration

✔ Tiemann tip with medium olive profile — narrower, elongated coudé variant

✔ Single drainage eye configuration

✔ Catheter size: 16Fr — slightly larger adult specialty calibre

✔ Balloon size: 5cc / 5 ml — standard routine retention balloon

✔ Design: 2-way (drainage lumen + balloon inflation lumen)

✔ Hydrogel-coated Lubricath shaft for reduced insertion friction

✔ Balloon retention system for bladder anchoring

✔ Box quantity: 12 catheters per box

✔ Designed for specialty indwelling urinary drainage scenarios

✔ Specialty curved-tip Foley — not routine inventory

✔ Useful for clinical, facility, and trained-clinician catheterization routines

Benefits

✔ Tiemann tip navigates tighter urethral passages, stricture zones, and prostatic resistance where standard coudé tips may still deflect

✔ Medium olive tip provides a defined dilation profile for passage through known strictures or narrowings

✔ Single drainage eye supports directed drainage flow matching tip orientation — clinical preference in specialty catheterization scenarios

✔ Hydrogel coating absorbs water and forms a slick lubricated surface against the urethral wall — reduces insertion friction beyond dry lubricant alone

✔ Hydrogel layer reduces protein adsorption and encrustation across the indwelling wear period

✔ 16Fr calibre supports clinically reasonable drainage flow at a slightly larger adult specialty size

✔ 5cc balloon anchors the catheter in the bladder for routine drainage scenarios — distinct from 30cc haemostatic compression balloons

✔ 12/Bx case format supports routine specialty catheter resupply at clinical and facility stocking levels

✔ Useful for users requiring specialty Foley catheter drainage under specialist clinical direction

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Indwelling Foley placement in patients with confirmed or suspected urethral stricture requiring Tiemann navigation

✔ Patients with prostatic urethral resistance where standard straight or coudé tips can't pass safely

✔ Specialist urology, post-procedural recovery, and complex catheter placement clinical settings

✔ Clinician-directed specialty catheterization where Tiemann tip and 16Fr calibre are specifically prescribed

✔ Patients without latex allergy or sensitivity (latex-allergic patients require silicone Tiemann alternatives — confirm by SKU)

✔ Trained-clinician catheterization routines — not for non-specialist insertion attempts

✔ Specialty catheter inventory resupply at the 12 ct facility stocking level

Usage/Application

Ideal for users who require an indwelling Foley catheter and have been directed to use a 16Fr, 5cc, 2-way Tiemann medium olive coudé-tip catheter. Use only under healthcare professional direction. Follow proper catheter insertion, securement, drainage bag connection, hygiene, monitoring, and replacement guidance.
