McKesson Coude Hydrophilic Catheter, 10 Fr 16"
McKesson Unisex Coudé-Tip Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter — 10 Fr, 16 Inch
Overview
The McKesson Unisex Coudé Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter pairs an easy-glide hydrophilic coating with a curved coudé tip for a smoother, more controlled insertion. The gently angled tip is designed to ease the catheter through narrower or curved passages where a straight tip can be harder to advance, and an orientation guide on the funnel helps you keep the curve pointed the right way as you go. The hydrophilic PVP coating activates with water to a thick, slick, low-friction surface — no separate lubricant to carry or apply.
A sterile water packet is built into the pack: fold to burst it, wait about 30 seconds, and the catheter is ready. Polished, staggered eyelets give a comfortable glide and steady flow, and the flexible funnel end has a ridged grip color-coded black for 10 French. This is the full 16-inch unisex length, supplied sterile and individually wrapped, and it's free of DEHP, DINP, BPA, and natural rubber latex.

- Single — one sterile catheter, ideal for trying the tip style, size, and length.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The whole point of a coudé is control — the curved tip is often the answer when a straight catheter is tricky to advance. The key handling tip is orientation: keep the curve pointed up (toward the navel) throughout insertion, and use the guide mark on the funnel so you always know which way the tip is angled. Coudé is usually a clinician's call, so match what you've been advised to use. At 10 French this is one of the narrower diameters, and the built-in water packet means no bottle of lube to carry — fold, wait about 30 seconds, and go. Black is your visual cue for 10 Fr. Buy the box of 30 to settle in and the case of 300 once you're catheterizing daily; if a straight tip works better for you, the matching MH straight-tip version is the one to compare.

No. The hydrophilic coating is pre-lubricated once activated — just use the included water packet, with no separate lubricant required.
Is it latex- and DEHP-free?
Yes. This catheter is free of DEHP, DINP, BPA, and natural rubber latex, making it a good choice for those with material sensitivities.
