The Rüsch® Tiemann Tip Silicone Coated PVC Urethral Catheter, 16 Fr., 16 Inch is a high-quality intermittent catheter designed to provide safe, comfortable, and effective bladder drainage for patients with specific anatomical challenges. Manufactured by Teleflex, a trusted leader in urological care, this catheter combines advanced materials with a specialized tip design to meet the needs of patients requiring intermittent catheterization.

The Tiemann tip, also known as a coude tip, is slightly curved and firm, allowing the catheter to navigate around obstructions such as strictures, scar tissue, or enlarged prostates. This makes it an ideal choice for male patients who experience difficulty with standard straight-tip catheters. The 16 French (Fr) diameter ensures reliable urine drainage, while the 16-inch length provides adequate reach for male catheterization.

Constructed from PVC with a silicone coating, this catheter provides the durability of PVC along with the smooth, low-friction surface of silicone. The coating reduces irritation and makes insertion more comfortable while maintaining flexibility and control.

Key Features of Rüsch® Tiemann Tip 16 Fr., 16 Inch Catheter:

• Tiemann (Coude) Tip: Curved design aids navigation through narrow or obstructed urethral passages.

• 16 Fr. Diameter: Standard adult size for efficient bladder drainage.

• 16-Inch Length: Suitable for male anatomy and reliable complete bladder emptying.

• PVC Construction with Silicone Coating: Combines strength, flexibility, and smoothness for patient comfort.

• Polished Eyelets: Ensure smooth urine flow and minimize urethral trauma.

• Sterile, Single-Use Packaging: Reduces the risk of contamination and infection.

Benefits of the Tiemann Tip Design:

Unlike a straight tip, the Tiemann tip’s gentle curve allows it to bypass anatomical obstructions with greater ease. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate

• Urethral strictures or narrowing

• Scar tissue from previous surgeries or injuries

• Difficult catheterizations due to anatomical variations

This makes the Rüsch® Tiemann catheter a valuable tool for both patients and healthcare providers in managing challenging catheterizations.
