Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone coating improve patient comfort?
Yes, the silicone-elastomer coating is specifically engineered to provide a smooth surface that significantly reduces mucosal irritation, making the catheter much more comfortable for the patient during both insertion and extended use.
How does the coating prevent common encrustation issues?
The specialized formulation of the silicone-elastomer barrier is designed to minimize potential encrustation. This helps maintain clear flow paths and promotes better performance throughout the duration of the catheter’s placement.
Is the catheter flexible enough for reliable use?
Absolutely. The TruCath utilizes a high-quality latex base, which provides the ideal level of flexibility required for effective and easy catheterization while maintaining structural integrity.
What is the specific capacity of the retention balloon?
This model features a 5 mL retention balloon, which is designed to ensure secure placement within the bladder once inserted.
Are there any specific lubricants I should avoid using?
It is critical to avoid any ointments or lubricants that contain petroleum bases. Petroleum products can damage the integrity of the material and may cause the retention balloon to burst.
Is this product suitable for long-term placement?
Yes, it is designed for indwelling catheterization. The combination of the protective silicone-elastomer coating and the secure 5 mL balloon makes it suitable for clinical settings that require longer-term urinary care.
Does this arrive ready for clinical use?
Yes, each catheter is individually packaged and sterile, ensuring it is ready for immediate use in professional clinical or hospital environments.
What is the standard French size of this catheter?
This specific TruCath model is manufactured in an 18 Fr. (French) size, which is a standard dimension for reliable urological flow.
How does the 2-way design function?
The 2-way design includes a standard tip for efficient fluid drainage and a secondary channel specifically dedicated to inflating and maintaining the 5 mL retention balloon.
Is this product considered new and reliable?
Yes, all TruCath Foley catheters are Factory New. They are manufactured by HR Healthcare to meet strict clinical standards for urological care and reliability.
