When is it indicated to use a Coude Indwelling Foley Catheter?

A Coude indwelling Foley catheter is indicated for patients with urethral strictures, enlarged prostates, or other anatomical abnormalities that may obstruct the passage of a standard Foley catheter. Its curved tip allows for easier navigation around obstructions, thereby minimizing trauma to the urethra. It is also useful in cases where a standard catheter has failed to advance. Always consider the patient's specific condition and consult with a healthcare professional before proceeding.
