Frequently asked questions
Is the silicone-elastomer coating gentle for sensitive patients?
Yes, the silicone-elastomer coating is specifically engineered to create a smooth surface. This design helps to:
- Minimize mucosal irritation during insertion.
- Provide a more comfortable experience for the patient compared to standard latex catheters.
How does the coating prevent common encrustation issues?
The high-quality silicone-elastomer coating acts as a protective barrier over the latex core. This specialized surface finish is designed to reduce the potential for encrustation, helping to maintain catheter performance during use.
Does the latex core provide reliable flexibility?
Absolutely. The device features a latex core that is specifically chosen for its material properties, ensuring the catheter remains flexible and easy to handle for clinical staff during the catheterization process.
Are there specific lubrication requirements I should know?
Yes, patient safety is critical. You must not use any petroleum-based ointments or lubricants. Petroleum-based products can degrade the material, potentially damaging the catheter and causing the 5 mL balloon to burst.
Is this catheter suitable for standard 2-way usage?
Yes, the TruCath is designed as a 2-way Foley catheter featuring a standard tip and a 5 mL retention balloon, making it a reliable choice for standard urological applications.
What is the official French size of this catheter?
This specific model comes in a 16 Fr. size, which is a common standard for clinical urological requirements.
Is the balloon capacity reliable for secure placement?
The catheter includes a 5 mL retention balloon. This size is designed to provide secure and stable placement within the bladder while minimizing patient discomfort.
Is this product delivered in a sterile state?
Yes, all TruCath catheters are guaranteed sterile and arrive in individual, peel-to-open packaging designed to maintain clinical hygiene until the moment of use.
Is this catheter recommended for long-term clinical comfort?
By combining the structural flexibility of latex with the smooth, biocompatible properties of the silicone-elastomer coating, this catheter is specifically built to improve patient tolerance and reduce discomfort associated with longer-term use.
