The Guide Stripe is a visual indicator running along the length of the catheter, allowing users to monitor the orientation of the Coude tip during insertion. This helps ensure the tip is positioned correctly to navigate anatomical curves or obstructions, improving safety and comfort. The Guide Stripe is especially beneficial for self-catheterization, making the process more intuitive and reducing the risk of trauma. Products like Coloplast 610 and Coloplast 614 both feature this helpful design element. All options in this category include a Guide Stripe for added confidence and precision during use.
