Medline Foley Catheters Silicone Coated 10 cc Balloon 16 Fr Pack of 12

Description

Product Overview

Medline Foley Catheters are engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern healthcare facilities, delivering consistent performance and patient comfort. The catheter shaft is constructed from a high‑grade silicone‑elastomer blend that provides a smooth, low‑friction surface, minimizing urethral irritation during insertion and long‑term use. The 10 cc balloon is designed for reliable retention, inflating evenly to maintain position without excessive pressure on surrounding tissue. With a 16 French diameter, the catheter offers an optimal balance between flow capacity and patient comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of adult patients.

Each catheter is supplied in a sterile, individually wrapped package to ensure aseptic conditions from the moment it leaves the manufacturer’s facility. The pack of twelve provides a cost‑effective solution for hospitals, clinics, and long‑term care facilities that require a steady inventory of high‑quality urinary drainage devices. The product complies with all relevant medical device regulations and has been validated through rigorous testing for durability, biocompatibility, and performance under typical clinical conditions.

Technical specifications include a silicone‑elastomer coated shaft, a 10 cc balloon volume, a 16 French size, and a latex‑free construction to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. The catheter is compatible with standard drainage bags and can be used with a variety of securing devices. Its design incorporates a radiopaque tip for easy visualization under imaging, facilitating accurate placement and verification during procedures.

Usage

These catheters are ideal for both short‑term and long‑term urinary drainage in adult patients across a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home health care. The silicone‑elastomer coating reduces patient discomfort and the risk of urethral trauma, making it a preferred choice for patients who require intermittent catheterization or continuous drainage. The 10 cc balloon provides a secure anchor within the bladder, reducing the likelihood of accidental dislodgement during patient movement or repositioning.

In addition to standard postoperative care, the catheters are well‑suited for use in patients with neurogenic bladder, urinary retention, or those undergoing urological surgeries where precise fluid management is critical. The latex‑free composition ensures suitability for patients with latex sensitivities, and the radiopaque tip aids clinicians in confirming correct placement via X‑ray or fluoroscopy. The pack of twelve allows healthcare providers to maintain an adequate stock, ensuring that replacement catheters are readily available when needed, thereby supporting uninterrupted patient care.
