Frequently asked questions
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
This catheter is constructed from silicone-coated latex and contains natural rubber latex. If you have a known sensitivity or allergy to natural rubber latex, this product is not suitable for your use.
Does the silicone coating improve patient comfort?
Yes. The silicone coating provides a smoother surface than untreated latex, which helps to minimize urethral irritation during insertion and while in place, making it more comfortable for the patient.
Is this catheter free from harmful chemicals like BPA?
Yes, this device is manufactured to be both DEHP-free and BPA-free, prioritizing patient safety during use.
How do I ensure the balloon stays securely in place?
The catheter features a symmetrical 30cc retention balloon. When properly inflated, it creates a secure and comfortable seal at the bladder neck, which is designed to prevent accidental dislodgement.
Does the design help prevent drainage blockages?
Absolutely. This catheter is equipped with large, oval-shaped drainage eyes at the tip. This design is specifically engineered to maximize drainage efficiency and ensure consistent urine flow.
Can I reuse this catheter after cleaning it?
No, this product is designed for single use only. It is provided in individual sterile packaging and must be discarded after its initial use to ensure safety and prevent infection.
Is this suitable for post-operative urinary drainage?
Yes, it is specifically engineered for post-operative urinary drainage and reliable retention, making it a standard choice for clinical care.
How can I identify the correct size?
This catheter is color-coded green, which corresponds to the 14 Fr. size. This allows healthcare providers to quickly and reliably verify the correct diameter during clinical use.
Are there two separate ports for drainage and inflation?
Yes, this is a 2-way (dual-lumen) catheter. It features one lumen for consistent urine drainage and a secondary lumen with an external valve dedicated to inflating the balloon.
