Frequently asked questions
Does the coude tip help with easier insertion?
Yes, the specialized coude (curved) tip is specifically engineered to navigate past anatomical obstructions, such as an enlarged prostate. This design makes the insertion process significantly smoother and more comfortable for the patient compared to standard tips.
Is the material gentle for long-term use?
Absolutely. The catheter is crafted from elastomer-coated silicone, which offers several benefits for patient comfort:
- Biocompatibility: Reduces the risk of irritation.
- Flexibility: Maintains structural integrity while being gentle on sensitive tissue.
- Smooth Surface: The specialized coating ensures a smooth passage during insertion and throughout usage.
How reliable is the balloon for secure placement?
The catheter features an integrated 10 cc balloon designed for optimal retention. Once correctly positioned in the bladder, the balloon provides a secure hold to prevent accidental displacement and ensure consistent performance.
What does the 18 Fr. sizing indicate?
The 18 Fr. (French) size refers to the external diameter of the catheter tube. This is a standard clinical sizing designed to balance effective drainage flow with patient comfort.
Is this a two-way catheter design?
Yes, this is a 2-Way Foley Catheter.
- One port is dedicated to balloon inflation to keep the catheter in place.
- The second port is used for urinary drainage, allowing it to be easily connected to collection systems.
How many units are included in one order?
Each order is supplied as a case containing 12 individual catheter units, ensuring you have an adequate supply for clinical or recurring needs.
Can this be used for patients with anatomical complexities?
Yes, the primary purpose of the coude tip design is to assist clinicians when navigating the urethra in patients who may have specific anatomical challenges or obstructions, making it a preferred choice for such cases.
Are there specific features for connecting to drainage systems?
Yes, the drainage port is designed for convenience and security, featuring a vibrant orange-colored connector that allows for a reliable and secure attachment to standard drainage collection systems.
Is the product brand-new?
Yes, this Medline product is Factory New, ensuring that it meets strict clinical quality and hygiene standards upon arrival.
Does the material provide good structural integrity?
The elastomer-coated silicone construction is specifically chosen for its durability. It provides the perfect balance of structural integrity to prevent kinking while remaining flexible enough to conform to the patient’s anatomy.
