Amsure Silicone Coated 2-Way Foley Cath, 14fr 5cc, Reinforced Tip

Why Choose AMSure Silicone-Coated 2-Way Foley Catheter 14Fr 5cc Reinforced Tip

The reinforced tip is the AMSure-specific specification that distinguishes this catheter from standard silicone-coated Foleys at the same 14Fr 5cc format. A reinforced catheter tip provides additional structural firmness at the distal end of the catheter — the tip maintains its shape and trajectory during insertion rather than deflecting or collapsing under the resistance of the urethral lumen. Standard non-reinforced catheter tips at smaller calibres like 14Fr can deflect at the bulbar or prostatic urethra in some patients, making insertion technically more difficult and requiring additional force that increases urethral trauma risk. The reinforced tip gives the inserting clinician better guidance and directional control through the urethra to the bladder, particularly in patients where urethral resistance or anatomy requires a more structured catheter tip. The silicone-elastomer coating reduces surface friction against the urethral mucosa during insertion and early dwell — the coating specification appropriate for standard-duration catheterisation at 14Fr. Smaller 14Fr calibre minimises urethral cross-sectional occupation for patients where calibre reduction is indicated. 5cc standard retention balloon. Confirm sterility, length, and quantity by exact SKU. Insertion under sterile technique and healthcare provider direction.

Key Features

✔ Confirm sterility, length, and quantity by exact SKU

Benefits

✔ Reinforced tip resists deflection at urethral resistance points during insertion

✔ Improved tip guidance reduces insertion force and urethral trauma risk

✔ Silicone coating reduces friction for insertion comfort and early dwell

✔ 14Fr minimises urethral trauma for patients requiring smaller calibre

✔ AMSure brand provides an accessible silicone-coated Foley supply option

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Indwelling catheterisation where tip reinforcement improves insertion guidance

✔ Patients with urethral resistance requiring structured catheter tip for reliable passage

✔ 14Fr smaller-calibre indication for urethral-sensitive or narrower urethral anatomy

✔ Standard adult catheterisation requiring silicone coating at 14Fr 5cc

✔ Facility and home-care catheter supply at AMSure brand format

Usage & Care

Insertion must be performed using sterile technique by or under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. Apply lubricant before insertion — confirm whether catheter is pre-lubricated or requires separate lubrication by SKU. Inflate the 5cc balloon only after confirmed bladder placement. Secure with a catheter securement device. Maintain a closed drainage system. Follow CAUTI prevention protocol. Change per clinical protocol or manufacturer's recommended dwell interval. Confirm sterility, length, and quantity by exact SKU before use.
