Frequently asked questions
Why is a Coude tip better for catheterization?
The Coude (curved) tip is specifically precision-engineered to assist in navigating the urethra. Its unique shape helps maneuver past anatomical obstacles or obstructions, making the insertion process easier for patients who may require this specialized design.
Is the material comfortable for the user?
Yes, this catheter is constructed from high-quality red rubber. This material is chosen specifically to provide an ideal balance between flexibility and necessary firmness, ensuring both patient comfort and structural integrity during use.
Does this product require lubrication?
