A coude catheter, or sometimes called a coude tip catheter, is a urinary catheter with a slightly curved tip that designed for easy insertion. Coude tip catheters are typically prescribed if a patient has an enlarged prostate and the catheter tip is curved to get past that tight spot with ease.
More commonly used in men, coude catheters can be used in women when they develop obstructions that require the use of a urinary catheter with a curved design. In addition to being used by doctors and nurses, coude catheters can be used at home by patients who may need to self catheterize for a variety of reasons.
