Frequently asked questions
Does the PTFE coating improve patient comfort?
Yes, the PTFE (Teflon) coating is specifically applied to the latex base to create a much smoother surface. This helps significantly minimize friction during both insertion and removal, enhancing overall patient comfort.
Is the Coude tip helpful for difficult insertions?
Absolutely. The specialized Coude tip is engineered with an upward curve, which provides superior directional control. This makes it an ideal choice for patients where a straight tip may be more challenging to navigate through the urethra.
How reliable is the Rusch PureGold line?
The Rusch PureGold line is manufactured by Teleflex, a trusted name in medical devices. This ensures consistent clinical reliability and high manufacturing standards, making it a dependable choice for standard bladder drainage and urological therapy.
What is the benefit of the 2-way configuration?
The 2-way configuration is highly functional, as it supports two essential clinical tasks simultaneously:
- Drainage: Efficient outflow for bladder therapy.
- Inflation: A dedicated channel to manage the 5 cc balloon for secure retention.
Does this catheter come ready for immediate use?

How secure is the catheter once in place?
Security is maintained by an integrated 5 cc balloon. Once the catheter is positioned, this balloon is inflated to ensure it remains securely and comfortably retained within the bladder.
What is the standard French size for this model?
This specific variant is a 12 Fr. (French) size, which is designed to provide the necessary balance between drainage efficiency and comfortable patient passage.
Is the material flexible enough for long-term use?
The catheter utilizes a latex base which provides the flexibility required for patient comfort, while the PTFE coating adds the necessary structural integrity to ensure the tube maintains its shape during effective drainage.
What is the total length of the catheter?
This catheter features a standard length of 16 inches, which is suitable for the majority of clinical applications and patient requirements.
Should I be aware of any safety warnings regarding materials?
