The Sterimed 2 Way Silicon Foley Catheter is a medical device designed for urinary drainage. Constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone, this catheter is biocompatible, reducing the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. It is intended for both short-term and long-term catheterization, providing a comfortable and reliable solution for patients requiring urinary bladder drainage. The two-way design features separate channels for urine drainage and balloon inflation, ensuring functionality.
100% Medical-Grade Silicone: Made from biocompatible and hypoallergenic material to minimize tissue irritation and allergic reactions, making it suitable for long-term use. Smooth, Lubricated Surface: The catheter has a self-lubricated shaft and a smooth tip, which facilitates easier, trauma-free insertion and removal. Two-Way Configuration: Features dual channels, one for draining urine and the other for inflating the balloon, which secures the catheter's position within the bladder. Integrated Balloon: The highly elastic and tear-resistant balloon ensures secure and comfortable placement once inflated inside the bladder. Radiopaque Line: A line that is visible on X-rays runs through the catheter, allowing healthcare professionals to verify its correct placement.
Q: What is a 2-way Foley catheter?
A: A 2-way Foley catheter is a medical device with two channels (lumens). One channel is for draining urine from the bladder into a collection bag, and the second channel has a valve that connects to a balloon at the tip, which is inflated with sterile water to hold the catheter securely in the bladder.
Q: What is the purpose of this catheter?
A: This catheter is used for urinary drainage in various medical situations, such as urinary retention (inability to urinate), post-operative care, and bladder irrigation. It is made of 100% medical-grade silicone, which is biocompatible and suitable for patients with latex allergies.
Q: What does the size 'FR-8' signify?
A: The size 'FR-8' refers to the French scale, a universal gauge system for catheters. 'FR' stands for French, and the number 8 indicates the outer diameter of the catheter. A lower French number signifies a smaller diameter; an 8 FR catheter is generally used for pediatric patients or adults with narrow urethral passages.
Q: How is this catheter inserted?
A: A healthcare professional will clean the genital area, apply a lubricant, and then gently insert the catheter through the urethra into the bladder. Once urine begins to flow, the balloon at the tip is inflated to secure it in place. It is recommended to seek professional medical guidance for the insertion and management of this device.
Q: What are the features of this silicone catheter?
A: This catheter is made from 100% medical-grade silicone, making it hypoallergenic. It features a self-lubricated shaft for easier insertion and removal, a tear-resistant balloon for reliability, and a radiopaque line for clear visualization on medical imaging to ensure correct placement.
Designed for patient comfort, the soft and flexible silicone construction minimizes discomfort during insertion and long-term wear. Reduces the risk of urinary tract infections and irritation due to its hypoallergenic and biocompatible silicone material. Suitable for prolonged use, as silicone is resistant to encrustation and degradation. Ensures secure placement and prevents accidental removal with a reliable, integrated balloon. Facilitates procedural accuracy through a radiopaque marker that allows for visualization of the catheter's position under X-ray.
This product must be used by or under the supervision of a qualified medical professional. Select the appropriate catheter size for the patient. Using an aseptic technique, gently insert the catheter through the urethra until it reaches the bladder and urine begins to flow. Advance the catheter a few more centimeters to ensure the balloon is fully inside the bladder before inflation. Inflate the balloon using sterile water through the designated valve port. Do not exceed the recommended balloon capacity. Connect the drainage funnel to a sterile urine collection bag.
For single use only. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. Consult a healthcare professional for proper size selection and before use. Do not use if the individual packaging is open or damaged. This product should be handled and inserted by trained medical personnel. The longer a catheter is in place, the higher the risk of developing a urinary tract infection. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
