Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone construction improve drainage?
Yes, the 100% silicone construction provides a significantly larger internal lumen compared to latex catheters of the same French size. This increased capacity promotes superior urine flow and more efficient drainage.
Is this material better for sensitive patients?
Absolutely. By using 100% medical-grade silicone rather than latex, this catheter offers a more biocompatible profile, which is specifically engineered to reduce tissue reactions and improve patient comfort.
How does this prevent common blockages?
The catheter is designed to minimize complications through two main features:
- Wider eyelets: Larger drainage openings help prevent blockages.
- Smooth surface: The high-quality silicone material is engineered to inhibit encrustation, ensuring reliable performance during use.
Is the tip designed to reduce irritation?
Yes, it features an atraumatic tip designed to minimize tissue irritation during insertion, providing greater ease for the clinician and increased comfort for the patient.
Can the catheter position be verified via X-ray?
Yes. The transparent shaft contains an embedded radiopaque stripe, allowing medical professionals to easily verify the placement and position of the catheter using X-ray imaging.
Is this product supplied ready for immediate use?
Yes, the Folysil 2-Way Catheter is supplied sterile and is ready for use in standard urological applications upon opening.
What is the specific balloon capacity for this size?
This 8 Fr. model is equipped with a 3 cc balloon capacity, designed for secure and effective retention.
How long is this catheter?
This model has a standard length of 12 inches, which is suitable for most standard urological drainage needs.
Why is the catheter shaft transparent?
The transparent silicone shaft is a functional design choice that allows for easy fluid monitoring, enabling clinicians to quickly observe the urine flow and clarity.
Are the connectors easy to distinguish?
Yes, the dual-port funnel assembly features color-coded components—an orange connector and a green valve housing—to ensure clear identification of the drainage and inflation ports.
