Rusch Catheters & Urological Supplies

Rusch, a Teleflex brand, is one of the most trusted names in urological care, and this collection brings together the intermittent and indwelling catheters clinicians reach for by name. Whether you're stocking a hospital urology unit, supplying a long-term care facility, or managing catheterization at home, the choice comes down to material, tip design, French size, and how long the catheter will stay in place.

For indwelling drainage, the Rusch Foley catheters span both 100% silicone and silicone-coated latex constructions. Silicone options like the 16 Fr and 20 Fr sterile Foleys resist encrustation and suit patients with latex sensitivities or those needing longer dwell times. The Teleflex Gold 3-Way silicone-coated Foleys are color-coded by French size for fast, error-free selection during continuous bladder irrigation, while the Puregold 2-Way latex Foley with a Coudé/Tiemann tip helps navigate the male urethra or an enlarged prostate where a straight tip won't pass.

Choosing between a straight (Robinson/Nelaton) and Coudé tip is one of the most common questions buyers face. Straight-tip options such as the Rusch red rubber urethral catheter (14 Fr, 16") work well for routine intermittent draining, while the curved Coudé tip is reserved for difficult insertions. Balloon capacity matters too—5 cc balloons anchor standard Foleys, and 30 cc balloons provide traction after urological procedures.

For clinicians who need everything at hand, the Rusch Catheter Insertion Kit (76000) supplies the drapes, gloves, lubricant, and antiseptic for an aseptic placement—simply pair it with the catheter size and material your protocol calls for.
