Male catheters typically come with one of two insertion tip options: straight or coudé tip.
Straight tip catheters are the standard for most catheter users. These are catheters with a straight insertion tip, which is the tapered end of the catheter that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine.
Coudé catheters feature a slightly curved insertion tip. Some catheter users may not be able to easily insert a straight tip, which can sometimes be due to issues like urethral blockages, strictures, or an enlarged prostate. A curved tip catheter can sometimes better navigate difficult urethral passages.
What type of insertion tip you need is up to your prescribing doctor.
At Patient Care Medical, you can choose from a wide variety of catheter options for men. Here are the three main types of male catheters.
Straight male catheters are uncoated and need manual lubrication. Choose from individual sterile lubricant packets or flip-top tubes for easy application.
Hydrophilic male catheters have water-activated properties that act as a lubricant. The lubricant, bonded as a coating, becomes very slippery when activated by water. These catheters can help reduce urethral friction and many include a handling sleeve or guide, offering a hands-free option that reduces the risk of UTIs (urinary tract infections).
These all-in-one systems are ideal for men who use wheelchairs or are frequently on the go. The sterile catheter is pre-lubricated inside a self-contained collection bag, eliminating the need for additional lubricant. Many brands include insertion supplies like sterile gloves, an underpad, and antiseptic wipes. Most male closed systems also feature a pre-lubricated introducer tip that bypasses bacteria in the first few millimeters of the urethra, minimizing the risk of infection.
At Patient Care Medical, we are committed to providing men with the best catheter options from top brands, many of which feature the latest technology designed for comfort and safety.

This male catheter is the new soft catheter with a dry-sleeve and flexible tip. It has a range of features that make every step easy for you. The flexible tip on this men’s catheter enables easy guidance through the curves and bends of the male urethra.
The flexible tip’s design makes it easy to insert into the urethral opening from any angle, as it will always find the center of the urethra. The soft-squeeze gripper and the dry-sleeve protect the catheter and enable you to touch the male catheter during insertion, making it easy to grip and control the catheter cleanly and hygienically.
GentleCath™ Glide Catheters for men offer a low-friction, hydrophilic design with unique FeelClean Technology™, reducing mess compared to standard catheters. Free from PVP, these catheters don’t become sticky when dry.
The male-length GentleCath™ Glide also includes a no-touch sleeve to reduce contamination risks. Its hydrophilic surface activates immediately with the included water sachet—no waiting required!
The Cure™ Coudé Catheter provides a comfortable and safe option for those who can’t use straight tip catheters. Its curved tip navigates around obstructions for efficient bladder drainage. A blue control stripe along the catheter helps you determine the direction of the tip during use.
Each catheter is uncoated, allowing you to choose your preferred lubricant. Additionally, all Cure™ catheters are made without DEHP, BPA, and natural rubber latex.
