Silicone-coated poly latex catheter

Silicone-coated latex Foley catheter

A silicone-coated latex Foley catheter is a medical device intended for use in medical situations where there is a need to drain urine from the patient's urinary system, in cases of diseases or medical conditions that require prolonged treatment or therapy with urine infusion.

Technical characteristics:

• Material: Made from a latex catheter shaft with a silicone coating, providing high flexibility, resistance to contamination, and reduced internal irritation to the skin.
• Preparation: Silicone-coated for protection of the tube and prevention of local inflammations or irritation, for prolonged use and prevention of scars.
• Size: Available in various sizes (such as 10F, 12F, 14F, 16F), according to medical need.
• Length: Varies as needed, usually between 40 cm and 60 cm.
• Type: Foley catheter with an inflatable balloon tip for stable retention in the patient's urinary system.
• Features:
  • The silicone coating reduces the risk of infections and adhesions.
  • Allows for standard drainage of urine and facilitates medical access.
  • Suitable for use in situations of prolonged urine infusion, or in medical conditions requiring intensive treatment.

Characteristics and Form of Use:

The catheter is inserted into the patient's urinary cavity through the urethra (usually while maintaining a sterile process), with the balloon in the catheter inflating to secure it in the desired position and prevent unwanted movement. The catheter is suitable for patients who require prolonged urine drainage, in cases of urinary incontinence or after surgeries.
