Intermittent coude catheters are a type of urinary catheter designed for individuals who experience difficulty inserting a standard straight-tip catheter. The key distinguishing feature is their curved or angled tip (coude means "elbowed" in French). This unique design helps navigate around obstructions in the urethra, such as an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), urethral strictures (narrowing), scar tissue, or false passages, which are more common in men but can affect women as well.

There are different types of coude tips:

Tapered Tip: The most common, featuring a short, strong curve that's slightly smaller at the insertion point, ideal for bypassing enlarged prostates or navigating strictures.

Tiemann Tip: Characterized by a longer, more flexible, and tapered tip, useful for navigating narrow urethral passages.

Olive Tip: Has a shorter, ball-shaped, rounded end that can help in getting around obstructions like false passages.
