Description
Product Overview
These Medline Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheters are engineered for clinical environments requiring durable and efficient urinary drainage. With an 18 Fr size and 30 mL balloon capacity, they provide optimal flow control while minimizing patient discomfort. The silicone-elastomer coating enhances resistance to encrustation, ensuring longer catheter life and reduced maintenance needs. Designed with a straight tip and two-way functionality, these catheters are ideal for both male and female patients in hospitals or clinics.
Usage
These foley catheters are commonly used in acute care settings such as ICUs, surgical units, and long-term care facilities where continuous urinary drainage is required. They are suitable for patients undergoing surgery, trauma recovery, or those with limited mobility who require intermittent or prolonged catheterization. The straight tip design reduces the risk of urethral trauma during insertion, while the two-way functionality allows for easy balloon inflation and deflation without compromising sterility.
