Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone coating help with patient comfort?
Yes, the specialized silicone coating over the durable latex is specifically designed to minimize urethral irritation, ensuring a more comfortable experience for the patient during use.
Is the material safe for sensitive patients?
The catheter is manufactured to be DEHP-free and BPA-free. Please note, however, that the product is constructed from natural rubber latex, so it is not suitable for individuals with a latex allergy.
How does the design ensure efficient drainage?
To support maximum flow and prevent clogging, this catheter is equipped with large, efficient oval drainage eyes.
Is the catheter tip easy to insert?
The catheter features a firm, straight (standard) tip that has been engineered to facilitate precise and easy insertion for healthcare providers.
How do I know if this is the right size?
This model is a 12 Fr. size, which is standard for many urological applications. To assist with quick identification in clinical or home-care settings, the product utilizes a white color-coding system.
Does the balloon stay securely in place?
The catheter utilizes a symmetrical 5 cc balloon. Once inflated with sterile water, it provides a reliable, tight seal within the bladder to prevent accidental displacement.
What is the function of the 2-way system?
The 2-way system separates the device into two independent channels:
- Drainage Lumen: Dedicated to efficient urine flow.
- Inflation Lumen: Connects to an external valve to manage the balloon inflation safely.
Is this product sterile and ready for use?
Yes, each catheter is supplied individually wrapped and sterile for single-use applications, ensuring hygiene and safety upon opening.
Is the catheter flexible enough for daily wear?
The construction balances flexibility and durability. The silicone-treated latex provides the necessary structural integrity while remaining flexible enough to resist temperature changes and chemical degradation during regular use.
Is this suitable for both home and clinical use?
Yes, this catheter is designed for use in both professional clinical settings and home-care urological applications.
