Cure Intermittent Cath Male 14fr 16in Coude Tip Single

Why Choose Cure Male Coudé Tip Intermittent Catheter 14Fr 16"

Coudé tip intermittent catheters serve a specific and well-defined clinical need: male intermittent catheterisation where straight-tip catheter passage fails due to prostatic enlargement, bladder neck angulation, or urethral stricture anatomy. This is a meaningful proportion of male intermittent catheterisation users, particularly those with BPH who perform self-catheterisation for urinary retention — the enlarged prostate creates an urethral angulation that the straight catheter tip contacts and cannot pass without excessive force or trauma. The coudé tip deflects at the obstruction when correctly oriented, following the angulated urethral path past the prostate into the bladder. 14Fr is the smaller adult intermittent calibre — appropriate for users where prostatic anatomy creates urethral narrowing alongside the angular obstruction, and where a smaller catheter diameter reduces insertion trauma along the coudé path. The single-unit format suits trial use for users newly directed to coudé tip catheters by their clinician, individual replacement supply, or users whose prescription provides per-unit rather than per-box supply. Cure is a recognised intermittent catheter brand. Confirm lubrication type and sterility by exact SKU. Coudé tip insertion requires trained technique — confirm correct tip orientation (indicator dot anterior) before inserting.

Key Features

✔ Coudé tip for intermittent catheterisation past prostatic or urethral angular obstruction

✔ 14Fr smaller adult calibre for reduced urethral trauma during coudé insertion

✔ 16-inch male length for standard male intermittent catheterisation

✔ Single-use sterile format — CAUTI risk reduction

✔ Single unit for trial, individual replacement, or per-unit prescription supply

✔ Confirm lubrication type and sterility by exact SKU

Benefits

✔ Coudé tip enables self-catheterisation for BPH users where straight-tip passage fails

✔ 14Fr reduces urethral trauma along the more demanding coudé insertion path

✔ Single-unit format accessible for trial before committing to box quantity

✔ Sterile single-use reduces reuse-associated infection risk

✔ Cure brand offers a recognised coudé tip intermittent catheter option

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ BPH-related urinary retention requiring self-catheterisation with coudé tip access

✔ Urethral stricture or post-surgical anatomy requiring coudé deflection technique

✔ Male intermittent catheterisation where straight-tip has repeatedly failed passage

✔ Trial use for patients newly prescribed coudé tip intermittent catheter

✔ Individual replacement supply for coudé tip intermittent catheter users

Usage & Care

Coudé tip insertion requires training — confirm correct technique with the healthcare provider before self-catheterisation. Orient the indicator dot anteriorly during insertion for correct tip deflection past the prostatic angulation. Apply lubricant to the full catheter length if not pre-lubricated — confirm lubrication by SKU. Insert using clean or sterile technique as directed. Drain completely before removing. Dispose of the single-use catheter — do not reuse. Consult a healthcare provider if the coudé tip does not pass or if haematuria, burning, or fever develops.
