Foleys Urinary Catheter
- Foley catheteris a flexible tube that is passed through the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine. It is the most common type of indwelling urinary catheter
- Two way, silicone coated, made with 100% silicon results in lesser encrustation and lower blockage rates
- Used for inserting into the bladder with complete trauma reduction in comparison with latex catheters
- Creates less irritation to the urethra. Produces lesser friction, thereby making catherization a smoother process for the patient
- Dual insertion tube at the end of the catheter, with separate lumen for each tube
- The 2-way openingsallow both urine to flow out the tube and a balloon to be inflated into the bladder
- Sterile, individually packed
- These Foley catheters are available in the sizesof 8F, 12F, 14F, 16F and 18F
