Silicone Two-Way Foley Catheter with 10 mL Balloon – Latex-Free, Sterile (25 Pcs)

A Foley catheter, also known as an indwelling urinary catheter, is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder to provide continuous urine drainage. It's commonly used when individuals are unable to urinate naturally due to medical conditions, surgical procedures, or other health-related issues.

Key Features:

• Balloon Mechanism: Equipped with an inflatable balloon near the tip, which, once positioned inside the bladder, is filled with sterile water to keep the catheter securely in place.

• Multiple Lumens: Typically designed with two or three lumens (channels):

  • Two-Way Catheter: One lumen for urine drainage and another for inflating the balloon.
  • Three-Way Catheter: Includes an additional lumen for bladder irrigation, often used post-operatively to prevent blood clot formation.

• Material Options: Constructed from various materials to suit patient needs:

  • Latex: Offers flexibility but may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
  • Silicone: Ideal for patients with latex allergies; provides biocompatibility and reduces the risk of encrustation.

• Tip Configurations: Available in different tip designs to facilitate insertion:

  • Straight Tip (Nelaton): Standard design for general use.
  • Coudé Tip: Curved tip to navigate around obstructions like an enlarged prostate.
