The McKesson 2-Way Coude Tip Foley Catheter 12 Fr with a 5 cc balloon is a medical-grade urinary catheter designed for patients who require reliable bladder drainage. Featuring a Coude tip for easier navigation through the urethra, especially in cases of urethral strictures or enlarged prostate, this catheter ensures a smoother insertion process with minimal discomfort.

Crafted from high-quality latex and coated with hydrophilic polymer, this catheter offers superior lubricity once activated with sterile water, significantly reducing friction during insertion and removal. The 12 Fr size is ideal for pediatric and select adult applications requiring smaller-diameter catheters.
