Description
The Romsons Foley Trac 2 Way Foley Balloon Catheter is a flexible tube designed for urinary drainage from the bladder. It is made from latex bonded with a silicone elastomer coating for a soft feel and to reduce the risk of encrustation. This indwelling catheter features two channels: one for draining urine and the other for inflating a balloon that holds the catheter securely inside the bladder. The device is intended for short-term urethral catheterization, up to 14 days, for conditions like acute urinary retention or incontinence.
Silicone Elastomer Coated: The catheter is made of latex bonded with a silicone elastomer, providing a smooth surface for comfortable insertion and use. 2-Way Design: It features two lumens, one for urine drainage and a second with a non-return valve for inflating and deflating the retention balloon. Symmetrical Balloon: A large capacity, symmetrical balloon ensures proper anchoring in the bladder, which helps prevent leakage and bladder spasms. Atraumatic Tip: The soft, coned, closed tip with smooth, burr-free lateral eyes is designed for easy penetration and non-traumatic intubation. Color-Coded Valve: The non-return valve is color-coded for quick identification of the catheter size by healthcare professionals.
Q: What is the purpose of the Romsons Foley Trac Catheter?

Q: What is the function of the balloon?
A: The balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated once inside the bladder to prevent the catheter from slipping out. It has a symmetrical, large capacity to help prevent bladder leakage.
