The Polymed Foley Balloon Catheter is a medical device intended for urinary drainage. It is constructed from silicone elastomer bonded with latex rubber, a combination designed for flexibility and durability for extended use. This two-way indwelling catheter is used for continuous urine drainage in various medical situations, such as urinary retention or during and after certain surgeries. The design includes a symmetrical balloon for secure placement within the bladder and features intended to support patient comfort.
Silicone-Coated Latex Material: The catheter is made of silicone elastomer bonded with latex rubber, designed for durability and flexibility for long-term use.
Symmetrical Balloon Design: This feature helps to ensure the catheter's tip remains in an upright position inside the bladder, which aids in proper urine drainage.
Dual Lateral Eyes: The catheter has two lateral eyes to facilitate drainage and reduce the chances of blockage or injury.
Hard Plastic Valve: A firm valve allows for straightforward inflation and deflation of the balloon as needed during management.
Color-Coded Ports: The size is easily identifiable due to color-coding, which helps streamline selection during medical procedures.
Q: What is a 2-way Foley catheter?
A: A 2-way Foley catheter is a tube with two channels; one drains urine from the bladder, and the other is used to inflate a small balloon that holds the catheter in place inside the bladder.
Q: What is the purpose of the balloon?
A: The balloon is inflated with sterile water once the catheter is inside the bladder to prevent it from accidentally slipping out, ensuring continuous urine drainage.
Q: What does the size 'FG 8' mean?
A: The size 'FG 8' refers to the catheter's diameter, measured in French (Fr) units. An 8 FG catheter is a smaller size, often used for pediatric patients or adults with specific urethral conditions.
Q: What material is this catheter made of?
A: This Polymed catheter is constructed from latex rubber bonded with a silicone elastomer, which provides flexibility and is intended for longer-term use with reduced irritation.
Q: Should this catheter be inserted without medical help?
A: No, a Foley catheter is a sterile medical device that should only be inserted and managed by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safety and proper function.
Facilitates continuous urinary drainage for individuals who are unable to urinate naturally.
Designed for long-term catheterization with a material blend that aims to minimize irritation.
The symmetrical balloon ensures the catheter stays in place, promoting consistent drainage.
Aids in preventing complications associated with an unemptied bladder, such as urinary tract infections or bladder distention.
The design with two lateral eyes helps reduce the risk of blockages and potential bladder injury.
This product is intended for use by a qualified healthcare professional only. The following are general procedural steps and not instructions for self-use.
The medical professional will prepare the patient by explaining the procedure and ensuring a sterile environment.
Using an aseptic technique, the catheter is gently inserted through the urethra until urine begins to flow, indicating it has reached the bladder.
The catheter is then advanced a few more centimeters to ensure the balloon is fully inside the bladder before inflation.
The balloon is inflated with a specified amount of sterile water via the designated valve port to secure the catheter in place.
The external end of the catheter is connected to a drainage bag, which must be kept below the bladder level to facilitate drainage.
Always consult a healthcare professional before using this product and for all aspects of catheter care.
This is a single-use device; do not resterilize or reuse.
Ensure the packaging is not damaged before use to maintain sterility.
The drainage bag should always be kept below the level of the bladder and off the floor to prevent backflow and contamination.
Do not lie on the catheter tubing or block the flow of urine.
Contact a healthcare provider immediately if the catheter comes out, if there is no urine drainage, or if you experience symptoms like fever, chills, or pain.
The FG 8 is a pediatric size with a balloon capacity of 3-5 ml. The catheter is made in India. For any issues or concerns, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on proper care, changing drainage bags, and managing any complications.
