Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Tiemann catheter and a Nélaton catheter?
The Tiemann catheter has an angled tip specifically designed to facilitate passage through the prostate in men. The Nélaton catheter, on the other hand, has a straight, rounded tip, better suited for female catheterisation or male catheterisation without prostatic obstruction.
How do I choose the right French gauge for a male urinary catheter?
The choice of French gauge depends on the patient's anatomy and medical prescription. In adult men, French gauges CH 14 to CH 18 are most commonly used. The colour code of the connector allows rapid identification of the size.
Can this catheter remain in place for an extended period?
No, this Tiemann catheter is designed exclusively for intermittent catheterisation (in-out). It has no retention balloon and must be removed immediately after bladder drainage. For long-term catheterisation, a Foley catheter with balloon is necessary.
