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.
Both straight and coude catheters may be used as intermittent catheters, but they are designed differently. Product details and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm the correct catheter type, size, and tip style.
