What Is a Tiemann Catheter?

A Tiemann catheter is a type of male urinary catheter which is designed for intermittent use and may be self-inserted. The distinguishing characteristic of this type of catheter is its tip. 

The Tiemann catheter tip is very slightly curved, unlike standard straight tip catheters. It has up to three drainage eyes in the tip, and the curved design can facilitate insertion for patients with narrow urethrae or urethral blockages.

Aside from its curved tip, the Tiemann catheter resembles other standard urinary catheters. It consists of a long, hollow tube, usually made from red rubber or silicone, which is inserted into the urethra and used for draining urine from the bladder and out of the body.

The tube is usually divided into two lumens. One lumens allows for the flow of urine, while the second is used to inflate a small balloon at the tip of the catheter to keep it in position after it has been inserted.

How Does a Tiemann Catheter Work?

The insertion technique for Tiemann catheters is similar to all other intermittent urinary catheters. First, the tip will need to be lubricated in order to make insertion as comfortable and painless as possible. Usually, a lubricant jelly will be applied. The tip can then be inserted into the urethra and pushed several inches into the body until it reaches the bladder and urine begins to flow out. Once the flow of urine has stopped, the catheter can be removed.

Instructions when Using Tiemann Catheters

  • Ensure your hands are washed and sanitized thoroughly.
  • Ensure the package isn’t damaged or open.
  • Wipe and sanitize around the genital area before inserting the catheter.
  • Carefully insert the catheter into the urethra.
  • Remove the catheter slowly once urine flow has stopped.
  • Dispose of catheter according to the package instructions.
  • Wash hands after you’re done with the process.

Tiemann Catheter Sizes 

Just like other kinds of urinary catheters, Tiemann catheters come in a wide range of sizes to suit the needs of different patients. They are measured using the standard French gauge system, with average sizes ranging from as low as 6 Fr for pediatric patients up to 22 Fr and higher for adults.

Tiemann Catheter Types

All Tiemann catheters look similar and are designed according to the same specifications, but may vary in size. They can also vary in terms of the material used to make them. Red rubber Tiemann catheters are known for their high flexibility, which may make them more comfortable to insert for some patients. Silicone Tiemann catheters are more rigid and may provide extra control during insertion.

Tiemann Catheter Uses

There are many potential use cases for Tiemann catheters, and their main purpose is to facilitate the flow of urine from the bladder and out of the body when urination is difficult, painful, or impossible. They can be used in patients who are suffering from incontinence or urinary retention, for example, as well as those who suffer from blockages in the urethra or prostate problems.

Tiemann Catheter Suppliers

C. R. Bard, Teleflex, Rusch, and Coloplast are among  the top suppliers of Tiemann catheters.

Bard offers the Bard Intermittent Catheter that features a curved tip with heat-polished drainage eyelets to aid the drainage process, boosting comfort during insertion and removal. Bard tiemann catheters come pre-hydrated with a hydrophilic coating. The funnels are designed in different colors for each French size, and there’s a guide notch that assists when determining where to insert the coude tip. They are available in 12, 14, 16 French sizes.

Bard also offers Red Rubber Catheters that are designed with a sterile latex material featuring an angled tip for a more comfortable insertion. They also feature a raised indicator on the end that helps the patient recognize where to insert the coude tip.

The Rusch tiemann catheters are made of a soft and flexible material with a curved tip that allows for an easy insertion, easing pains for people who suffer with strictures or difficult catheterizations. They are made of PVC, with different colors to indicate French sizing.
