Description
The Polymed Foley Balloon Catheter is a medical device intended for urinary drainage. It is designed for individuals who require catheterization for various medical reasons, such as urinary retention or during post-operative care. This two-way catheter is constructed from silicone elastomer bonded with latex rubber, a combination that offers both flexibility and durability for patient comfort during use. The device facilitates continuous and safe urine drainage from the bladder.
Material Composition: Made from a blend of silicone elastomer and latex rubber, providing flexibility and durability.
Symmetrical Balloon: Features a balloon that expands symmetrically to ensure the catheter remains securely and correctly positioned within the bladder for proper drainage.
Dual Drainage Eyes: Equipped with two lateral eyes at the tip to facilitate urine flow and reduce the chances of blockage or injury.
Hard Plastic Valve: Includes a firm valve for reliable inflation and deflation of the balloon, compatible with standard syringe nozzles.
Color-Coded Port: The catheter features a color-coded sleeve for straightforward and rapid identification of its size by healthcare professionals.
Q: What is a 2-way Foley balloon catheter?
A: A 2-way Foley catheter is a flexible tube with two channels. One channel drains urine from the bladder into a collection bag, and the second channel is used to inflate a small balloon at the tip with sterile water to hold the catheter securely in place inside the bladder.
Q: What does 'FG 10' signify?
A: The term 'FG 10' refers to the size of the catheter. 'FG' stands for French Gauge, which is a scale used to measure the outer diameter of catheters. A 10 FG size is typically used for pediatric patients.
Q: What is this catheter made of?
A: This Polymed catheter is made from silicone elastomer bonded with latex rubber. This combination is designed for durability and flexibility, allowing it to be used for a longer duration with reduced irritation.
Q: How is this catheter used?
A: This is an indwelling urinary catheter intended for long-term use. It must be inserted by a qualified healthcare professional who will guide the lubricated tube into the bladder and then inflate the balloon to secure it.
Q: Why does this catheter have two eyes?
A: The catheter features two lateral eyes, or openings, near the tip. This design helps to facilitate efficient urine drainage and reduces the risk of blockage or injury to the bladder wall.
