The difference between a straight catheter and a coude catheter is the shape of the catheter tip. A straight catheter has a straight tip, while a coude catheter has a curved or angled tip designed for a different catheter configuration.
Both straight catheters and coude catheters may be used as intermittent catheters and can vary by French size, catheter length, material, lubrication method, packaging, and sterility. Product details and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm the catheter type, size, tip style, and intended use before ordering.
