Frequently asked questions
Is this catheter made from hypoallergenic silicone?
Yes, this catheter is constructed from high-grade silicone. This material is selected specifically for its superior biocompatibility, which helps minimize the risk of local toxicity and allergic reactions frequently encountered with latex-based products.
How does the Coude tip assist with insertion?
The Coude (curved) tip is specifically engineered to provide better maneuverability. Its design helps the catheter navigate the urethra more effectively compared to standard straight-tip models, aiding in both precision and patient comfort.
Is this model better at preventing blockages?
Absolutely. The silicone composition of this catheter is clinically recognized for lower rates of encrustation and blockage. By resisting build-up, it ensures more reliable performance and reduces the frequency of complications.
What is the balloon capacity for this device?
This Foley catheter is equipped with a 5 cc retention balloon. This size is standard for secure placement and stable retention during use.
Is this a two-way or three-way catheter?
This is a 2-way configuration. It features a primary drainage lumen and a secondary lumen dedicated to inflating the 5 cc retention balloon.
What is the total length of this catheter?
This device measures 16 inches in length, providing a standard size suitable for professional clinical urological applications.
Does it come ready for immediate sterile use?
Yes, the product is supplied sterile. It is intended for professional clinical environments and arrives in secure, sterile packaging ready for application.
How should this be used for sensitive patients?
Because it is composed of 100% silicone, it is the ideal choice for patients who have known sensitivities or allergies to latex. Its biocompatible design makes it a safer, more comfortable option for long-term or sensitive catheterization needs.
What is the French size of this specific model?
This particular unit is an 18 Fr. (French) size. It is a standardized model designed for clinical urological procedures.
Is the catheter design durable?
Yes. Beyond the benefits of the silicone material, the device features a reinforced junction at the 2-way bifurcation to ensure structural integrity and functional reliability during clinical use.
