Foley Catheter

The Foley catheter
is a 100% silicone-coated latex Foley balloon catheter, sterile and packaged in boxes of 10.

Key Features:

Material: It is made of latex with a 100% silicone coating, which helps reduce irritation and the risk of encrustation.

Sterility: It is supplied sterile (indicated by “STERILE EO” on the packaging), guaranteeing the absence of live microorganisms before use.

Use: It is an indwelling urinary catheter used for the drainage of urine from the bladder, particularly in cases of incontinence, urinary retention, or during surgical procedures.

Design: It features an inflatable balloon at the distal end that, when inflated with a sterile solution (e.g., sterile water), ensures it is securely held in the bladder.

Ports: Foley catheters generally have two ports: one for urine drainage and another for balloon inflation.

Sizes: Available in various sizes (classified according to the French system, 14F, 18F), with balloon volumes of varying sizes (e.g., 5 ml for standard use).
