Description

The 14Fr (French) Coude Tip Latex Foley Catheter with a 10ml balloon capacity is a specialized medical device used for urinary drainage and management. Designed primarily for patients with prostate enlargement or other conditions affecting the urinary tract, the coude tip features a curved or bent end that assists in navigating past obstructions within the urethra, facilitating smoother insertion and reducing discomfort during placement.

Made from latex, the catheter material provides flexibility and resilience, conforming to the anatomy of the urethra for optimal patient comfort and minimal irritation. The 10ml balloon, when inflated with sterile water or saline post-insertion, secures the catheter in place within the bladder, preventing accidental displacement.

This type of Foley catheter is suitable for short or long-term use, depending on the patient's medical needs, and is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings. The latex material, while flexible and durable, requires careful handling to avoid allergic reactions in latex-sensitive individuals, necessitating consideration of alternative materials when needed.
