Description
The Lubricath Sterile 2-Way Foley Catheter with Balloon, 5 mL, 16 Fr is a urinary drainage device designed for intermediate to long-term catheterization. It features a 2-way configuration, allowing for simultaneous urine drainage and balloon inflation for secure placement within the bladder. The 16 French size is appropriate for standard adult use, providing effective flow while maintaining patient comfort.
This catheter is coated with a Lubricath hydrophilic polymer that becomes highly lubricious when activated by moisture. The coating reduces friction during insertion and removal, thereby minimizing urethral trauma and irritation to the mucosal lining. This results in improved patient tolerance and reduced risk of complications such as bleeding or discomfort.
In addition to reducing irritation, the hydrophilic coating also helps resist encrustation, which can lead to catheter blockage and urinary tract infections. The coating creates a smooth surface that discourages adherence of crystalline and bacterial deposits, enhancing catheter performance over extended periods of use.
