Frequently asked questions
Does the Coude tip help with easier insertion?
Yes, the Coude tip is specifically engineered with a slight bend at the end. This design is highly effective at navigating through the urethra, especially when clinicians need to bypass obstructions or an enlarged prostate, resulting in superior comfort for the patient.
Is the material gentle on sensitive tissue?
The catheter is constructed from high-grade latex and features a specialized PTFE (Teflon) coating. This advanced coating creates a smooth, chemically inert surface that significantly reduces friction and tissue irritation during both insertion and extended use.
Does the coating help prevent encrustation?
Yes, the PTFE (Teflon) coating serves as a barrier that improves the interface between the catheter and patient tissue. This low-friction surface is designed to enhance patient comfort while simultaneously reducing the risk of encrustation during drainage.
How reliable is the balloon retention?
The catheter is equipped with a 5 cc balloon that, once inflated, ensures secure and reliable retention within the bladder. It is designed for consistent performance in both short-term and long-term urinary drainage applications.
Is this product suitable for professional clinical settings?
Absolutely. Manufactured by Teleflex under the Rusch PureGold brand, this catheter is built to the high clinical standards expected in professional urology departments and sterile medical environments.

The product follows standard medical color-coding conventions. This 22 Fr. catheter features a purple color-coded drainage port, allowing for quick and accurate visual identification of the gauge size in a busy clinical setting.
Is the catheter sterile and ready for use?
