Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone coating help with comfort?
Yes, the specialized silicone coating is specifically designed to minimize urethral irritation, facilitating smoother insertion and removal compared to standard latex.
Is this catheter suitable for long-term use?
This Rusch Gold catheter is intended for short-to-medium-term applications. It is a professional-grade device best suited for standard urological procedures and patient therapy requirements.
What is the purpose of the 5 cc balloon?
The integrated 5 cc balloon acts as a retention mechanism at the distal end. Once deployed in the bladder, it inflates to ensure the catheter remains securely and safely in the correct position.

What does the 2-way configuration mean?
A 2-way design features two separate lumens:
- Drainage Lumen: Facilitates the flow of urine out of the bladder.
- Inflation Lumen: Connects to the balloon, allowing you to inflate it once the catheter is properly placed.
