Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone coating help with patient comfort?
Yes. The silicone coating provides a smooth, non-reactive surface that significantly reduces urethral irritation and trauma during and after insertion, ensuring a better experience for the patient.
Is this catheter safe for patients with chemical sensitivities?
This catheter is manufactured to be both DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it is free from these common chemical plasticizers.
How does the balloon ensure secure retention?
The catheter features a symmetrical 30 cc balloon. When inflated with sterile water, it creates a tight, reliable seal at the bladder neck, which is designed to prevent accidental slipping or dislodgement.
Is the tip designed for easier insertion?
Yes, this catheter features a firm standard (straight) tip. This design is specifically engineered to provide the necessary rigidity for smooth, controlled insertion.

Absolutely. It is designed with large, strategically placed oval eyes at the tip. These openings are optimized to promote maximum flow rates and ensure efficient, consistent drainage.
Is this product suitable for those with latex allergies?
Please note that this product contains natural rubber latex. If the patient has a known latex allergy, this device is not suitable for their use.
What is the total length of the catheter?
The catheter has a standard clinical length of 16 inches, which is suitable for standard post-operative urinary management in hospital or home-care settings.
Are there visual indicators to identify the size?
Yes, it features a blue color-coded port at the proximal end. This industry-standard color coding allows clinical staff to quickly and accurately identify the 24 Fr. size.
What supplies are needed for setup?
To set up this catheter, you will need: 1. Sterile water for inflating the 30 cc retention balloon. 2. A standard urinary drainage collection bag to connect to the drainage lumen.
