Which of the following bladder catheters has a small, curved tip designed to maneuver around an enlarged prostate?

The Coude catheter is specifically designed with a small, curved tip that allows it to navigate around obstructions, such as an enlarged prostate. This unique design makes it particularly useful for male patients who may have difficulty with standard catheters due to anatomical challenges presented by the prostate gland. The curvature helps to guide the catheter into the bladder while avoiding any blockage or trauma that could occur with a straight-tip catheter.

In contrast, the Foley catheter typically has a straight tip and is used for a variety of general bladder drainage purposes but does not have the specialized design required for maneuvering around prostate enlargements. A suprapubic catheter is inserted directly into the bladder through the abdominal wall and would not be used for navigating around the prostate. Intermittent catheters can vary in design, but they generally also do not have the distinctive curvature that the Coude catheter features, making them less suitable for cases involving prostate enlargement. Thus, the Coude catheter stands out as the ideal choice for this specific medical scenario.
