Description
Key Features:
Silicone-Elastomer Coating: This is a hydrophobic (water-repellent) material that minimizes encrustation and provides protection against urethral irritation. This coating also makes the catheter's surface smooth, which facilitates easier and more comfortable insertion.
2-Way Design: The catheter has two lumens (channels): one for drainage of urine and one for inflating and deflating the balloon.
Foley Catheter: It's an indwelling urinary catheter, which means it is designed to remain in place for a period of time. The balloon at the tip, when inflated with sterile water, holds the catheter securely in the bladder.
Material: It is made from a latex formulation with a multi-dip process that provides flexibility while maintaining strong walls to resist kinking and collapse.
Designed for Drainage: It features two opposing, smooth eyes (drainage holes) that are sized for maximum drainage and positioned to prevent kinking. The drainage lumen is also coated to enhance flow rate and resist encrustation.
Standard Tip: The catheter has a round, smooth tip to reduce irritation of the urethral mucosa during insertion.
Sterile and Single-Use: The product is sterile and intended for single-use only.
Size: The product code 123514CE specifically refers to a 14 French (14FR) size with a 5cc or 10cc balloon (some sources list 5cc, others list 10cc, so it's important to verify).
Uses:
Urinary Catheterization: This product is used to drain urine from the bladder.
Continuous Irrigation: The 2-way design is suitable for continuous irrigation.
Short-term and Long-term Use: Its design and coating make it suitable for both short-term and long-term use.
Medical Settings: It is used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and for home care and recovery.
