Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter help with difficult insertions?
Yes, this model features a specialized Carson Model tip. This design is specifically engineered to assist in navigating the prostatic urethra, making it a better choice for complex catheterizations compared to standard tips.
Will this reduce irritation during use?
Absolutely. It is treated with a Lubricath hydrophilic polymer coating. This advanced technology is designed to significantly reduce irritation to the sensitive urethral mucosa, enhancing overall patient comfort.
Is this catheter latex-free?
No, this device is constructed from latex. If you have a latex allergy, this product is not suitable for your use.
Does the coating help prevent buildup?
Yes, the proprietary hydrophilic polymer coating is specifically designed to minimize mineral deposits and encrustation. This helps maintain better performance and safety throughout the duration of the device’s use.
Is this a sterile medical device?
Yes, this is a factory-new, sterile medical device intended for professional clinical use in urology settings.
How is this tip different from a standard one?
While standard catheters use a straight tip, the Carson Model tip provides a specific curvature. This engineering allows for smoother navigation of the prostatic urethra, which is often more challenging with standard-tip designs.
What is the balloon capacity?
This catheter is equipped with a 30 cc balloon designed to ensure secure retention within the bladder.
What does the 2-way system provide?
The 2-way system includes a Y-shaped bifurcation at the proximal end, providing separate ports for drainage and balloon inflation, allowing for effective management of the catheter.
What is the French size of this catheter?
This specific model is a 22 Fr. (French) size.
Is this product suitable for long-term use?
The device is designed to improve patient comfort during extended use by minimizing irritation and encrustation; however, it should always be managed according to standard clinical protocols.
