Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating make insertion easier?
Yes, the hydrophilic polymer coating is designed to become highly lubricious when it comes into contact with moisture. This significantly reduces friction, allowing for a much smoother insertion process and minimized patient discomfort.
Is the Coudé tip better for specific anatomical needs?
Yes, the Coudé tip is firmer than standard catheter tips. Its specialized shape is specifically engineered to help navigate through the urethra more effectively, making it an excellent choice for patients who require assistance with catheter positioning.
Is this catheter free from DEHP and BPA?
Yes, this McKesson Foley Catheter is manufactured to be DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it meets modern safety standards for medical-grade materials.
Can I use this if I have a latex allergy?
No. This product is made from natural rubber latex. If you or the patient has a known allergy to latex, this product is not suitable as it may trigger an allergic reaction.
How does the drainage design prevent tissue irritation?
The catheter features large, oval-shaped drainage eyes with smooth, beveled edges. These are symmetrically placed to maximize urine flow while significantly reducing the risk of tissue trauma or irritation during use.
Is this catheter intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a sterile, single-use medical device. For safety and to prevent infection, it must be discarded after one use and should be handled by a trained healthcare professional or caregiver.
What is the intended use for the 30 cc balloon?
The 30 cc balloon is designed for secure retention within the bladder. It is specifically intended for long-term or post-operative applications where the catheter needs to remain reliably in place.
How can I identify the correct size?
This model is a 16 Fr. (French) size, which is conveniently color-coded in orange. This standard color-coding helps professionals quickly identify the size during clinical or home-care settings.
Does the 2-way design allow for balloon inflation?
Yes, the 2-way design features two distinct channels:
- A primary lumen for efficient urine drainage.
- A secondary inflation lumen with an external valve for easy and secure balloon management.
Is the catheter length standard for adults?
Yes, this catheter is 16 inches in length, which is the standard size used for effective drainage in most clinical and professional home-care adult applications.
