Dover™ Silicone Foley Catheter Coudé Tip Latex-free 2-Way 16fr 5cc 10/Bx

Why Choose Dover Silicone Coudé Tip Foley Catheter 2-Way 16Fr 5cc Latex-Free

This catheter combines two independent clinical specifications — coudé tip and all-silicone construction — that each serve a distinct patient need. The coudé tip addresses prostatic or bladder neck obstruction that prevents straight-tip catheter passage, allowing the curved tip to deflect past the anatomical obstacle when correctly oriented during insertion. The all-silicone construction addresses latex sensitivity and the clinical requirements of longer-term catheter dwell. Silicone is the preferred material for long-term indwelling catheterisation because it does not contain latex allergens, it has a larger drainage lumen relative to external diameter than coated latex catheters, and it demonstrates lower rates of catheter encrustation and calcification during extended dwell than latex or coated-latex alternatives. This is clinically relevant for long-term catheter users who experience encrustation-related blockage with latex or hydrogel catheters and require a material that maintains lumen patency longer. The combination of coudé tip and all-silicone construction serves the patient profile most clearly: male patients with BPH or prostatic anatomy requiring coudé tip access, who also have latex sensitivity or require long-term catheterisation. 10 per box, 16Fr, 5cc balloon. Confirm sterility and length by exact SKU. Coudé insertion requires trained personnel.

Key Features

✔ Coudé tip for catheterisation past prostatic or bladder neck obstruction

✔ All-silicone latex-free construction for latex sensitivity management

✔ Silicone for lower encrustation risk in long-term indwelling catheterisation

✔ Larger drainage lumen relative to external diameter vs. coated-latex alternatives

✔ 16Fr — 5cc retention balloon — 10 per box

✔ Confirm sterility, length, and tip style by exact SKU

Benefits

✔ Coudé tip enables catheterisation in patients where straight-tip insertion fails

✔ All-silicone construction eliminates latex allergen exposure

✔ Lower encrustation rate extends catheter lumen patency during long-term dwell

✔ Latex-free appropriate for patients with confirmed or suspected latex sensitivity

✔ 10-count box supports facility and home-care recurring catheter supply

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Male patients with BPH requiring coudé-tip catheterisation and latex-free material

✔ Long-term indwelling catheterisation requiring silicone for reduced encrustation

✔ Patients with confirmed or suspected latex sensitivity requiring latex-free Foley

✔ Urethral or bladder neck obstruction where straight-tip catheterisation fails

✔ Facility and home-care catheter supply requiring coudé-plus-silicone format

Usage & Care

Coudé tip insertion must be performed by trained healthcare personnel familiar with coudé technique — correct anterior tip orientation is required during insertion. Inflate the 5cc balloon only after confirmed bladder placement. Silicone catheters do not require hydration before insertion unlike hydrogel-coated catheters. Secure with a catheter securement device. Maintain closed drainage system. Follow CAUTI prevention protocol. Change per manufacturer recommended dwell interval or clinical protocol. Confirm sterility and length by exact SKU before use.
