Frequently asked questions
Is the hydrophilic coating effective for easier insertion?
Yes, the hydrophilic polymer coating is designed to become lubricious immediately upon contact with water. This significantly reduces friction, making the insertion process much smoother and more comfortable for the patient.
Are there any concerns regarding latex allergies?
Yes, this catheter is constructed from natural rubber latex. If you or the patient have a known latex allergy, this product should not be used.
How do I ensure proper balloon inflation?
The catheter features an integrated 5 cc balloon that should be inflated with sterile water. The secondary inflation lumen is clearly marked, allowing you to easily manage the balloon size to ensure the catheter remains securely in place.
Are the drainage eyes designed to prevent irritation?
Absolutely. The catheter is engineered with large, oval-shaped eyes that feature a smooth, beveled edge. This design promotes efficient urine drainage while minimizing the risk of tissue trauma or irritation during use.
Can this be used for home-based care?

Does this include the external drainage bag?

Is this catheter free from harmful additives?
Yes, the McKesson 2-Way Foley Catheter is strictly manufactured to be both DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it meets modern medical safety standards for patient care.
How do I identify the correct French size?

Is the catheter sterile for single use?
Yes, each catheter is individually wrapped and sterile. It is intended for single-use only to maintain maximum hygiene and prevent the risk of infection.
What is the total length of the tube?
The catheter features a standard length of 16 inches, providing ample reach for secure and effective drainage in most clinical and home care scenarios.
