Frequently asked questions
Does the coating make insertion easier?
Yes, it features a hydrophilic polymer coating that becomes slippery when activated. This design significantly enhances surface lubricity, facilitating a much smoother and more comfortable insertion process.
Is this catheter safe for latex-sensitive patients?
No. This product is constructed from natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in some users. Please verify patient sensitivity before use.
What is the benefit of the balloon design?
The catheter includes a symmetrical 5 cc balloon. Once inflated with sterile water, it creates a secure, reliable seal at the bladder neck, which effectively prevents the catheter from slipping out of place.
Does it contain harmful chemicals like BPA?
No, this catheter is both DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it meets modern safety standards for medical devices of this type.
How is the drainage efficiency ensured?
The catheter is engineered with large, oval drainage eyes that feature smooth bevels. This design is optimized for maximum fluid flow while minimizing the risk of tissue damage during drainage.
Is this a sterile, single-use product?
Yes, each catheter is individually wrapped for single, sterile use to ensure clinical hygiene and patient safety.
How do I identify the size of this catheter?
This specific model is a 24 Fr. size, which is also color-coded blue for easy identification in a clinical setting.
What is the purpose of the 2-way design?
The 2-way design features two distinct lumens: one dedicated to efficient urine drainage into a collection bag, and another specifically for connecting to the balloon valve for easy inflation.
Is this a standard tip catheter?
Yes, it features a firm, standard tip design which is optimized to assist in navigation during the insertion process.
How long is the catheter tube?
The catheter tube has a standard length of 16 inches.
