Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter help prevent bladder spasms?
Yes, the TruCath Duo is specifically engineered to reduce bladder spasms. Its unique dual-balloon system features a secondary protection balloon that subsumes the tip, which helps minimize irritation and tissue trauma within the bladder.
Is this product safe for latex-allergic patients?
Absolutely. This catheter is constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone, making it entirely latex-free and a safe, non-reactive alternative for patients with natural rubber latex sensitivities.
Are the materials resistant to encrustation?
Yes, the high-quality medical-grade silicone used in the TruCath Duo is highly resistant to encrustation and blockages, offering superior performance compared to traditional latex models.
How does the subsumed tip improve patient safety?
The subsumed tip is designed to be covered by the secondary protection balloon. This design ensures that the catheter tip does not directly contact the bladder wall, which significantly reduces the risk of trauma and potential infections.
Does the design support efficient drainage?
Yes, the catheter features a larger inner lumen design. This allows for high flow rates and provides enhanced structural integrity, ensuring the tube resists collapse even during aspiration.
Is this catheter easy to identify during X-rays?
Yes, it is designed for clear clinical visibility. The catheter includes a radiopaque tip and a radiopaque strip that runs the entire length of the tube, allowing for easy verification during imaging procedures.
What is the function of the drainage eyes?
The drainage eyes are strategically positioned between the two balloons. This specific placement is critical as it prevents the bladder wall from being aspirated into the eyes, which helps avoid tissue damage.
How is the French size identified?
For precise identification in clinical settings, the device utilizes industry-standard color coding. This allows healthcare providers to quickly and accurately identify the 16 Fr. size.
Is this item suitable for long-term use?
The TruCath Duo is ideal for clinical and hospital settings where secure, long-term catheterization is required. Its durable silicone construction is designed for longer-lasting performance and reliability.
Is the catheter provided in a sterile state?
Yes, each TruCath Duo unit is individually sterile-packaged to ensure it meets the highest standards for hygiene and patient safety upon arrival and prior to use.
