Frequently asked questions
Does the coating help with patient comfort?
Yes, the catheter features a specialized silicone-elastomer coating. This smooth surface is designed to minimize mucosal irritation and resist encrustation, which significantly improves the patient experience compared to standard uncoated latex.
Is the material flexible for easier insertion?
Yes. The catheter is constructed from high-quality latex, which provides excellent flexibility. This allows for easier insertion and movement while ensuring the device maintains its necessary structural integrity during use.
How reliable is the balloon retention?
The catheter includes an integrated 5 mL retention balloon. It is engineered to keep the device securely in place throughout the catheterization period, providing reliable performance for managed urinary care.
Is this suitable for someone with a latex allergy?
This specific model is made of latex with a silicone-elastomer coating. Because the core material is latex, it is generally not recommended for individuals with known latex sensitivities or allergies.
Is this catheter appropriate for long-term use?
While the silicone-elastomer coating helps reduce irritation and encrustation, this model is typically recommended for short-term or managed urinary care. We suggest consulting with your healthcare provider to determine if this specific 20 Fr. size and material are appropriate for your long-term needs.

A 2-way Foley catheter features two channels: one for the drainage of urine and one for the inflation of the retention balloon. It is a standard design used for reliable urinary catheterization.
Is this product sterile and ready for clinical use?
Yes, this is a factory new, sterile medical device. It comes individually packaged to ensure hygiene and safety for medical procedures.
