Yes, the Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters are specifically engineered to ensure smooth insertion and removal, which significantly enhances patient comfort and minimizes trauma.

This key benefit stems from the catheter’s materials and specialized coating technology:

• Silicone Construction: The base material is silicone, providing flexibility and excellent biocompatibility.
• Proprietary Coating Options: Depending on the variant selected, the catheter features either a proprietary “Slippery” surface treatment or an advanced Antimicrobial Hydrogel Coating.

Both coatings are designed to minimize friction, ensuring exceptional glide during placement and removal.

Yes, the Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters are available in both 2-Way and 3-Way configurations to suit diverse clinical requirements.

• 2-Way Configuration: Used primarily for standard urinary drainage. Options include both Standard Tips and specialized Coude Tips.

All Lubri-Sil catheters feature a proprietary lubricated silicone surface (indicated as ‘Slippery’ or Antimicrobial Hydrogel Coated) for smoother insertion and removal.

Yes, select configurations of the Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters feature an Antimicrobial Hydrogel Coating.

This specialized coating offers enhanced clinical utility and is applied directly to the silicone material, resulting in an Antimicrobial Hydrogel Coated Silicone construction.

This option is available across a variety of French sizes and catheter configurations (including 2-Way and 3-Way designs) to meet diverse patient needs.

The Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters are supplied for clinical use in standardized case quantities. The typical packaging quantity is 12 units per case (12/cs) across most configurations.

The standard lead time for the Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters is typically 4–5 weeks.

The Bard Lubri-Sil Foley Catheters are offered in a broad range of French (FR) sizes, accommodating diverse patient needs from pediatric to adult. The available size range is from 6FR up to 24FR.

The specific sizes offered include:

• 6FR
• 8FR
• 10FR
• 12FR
• 14FR
• 16FR
• 18FR
