Bard Lubricath 2-Way Tiemann Med Olive Coude-Tip Single-Eye Foley Cath 18fr 30cc 12/Bx

Why Choose Bard Lubricath 2-Way Tiemann Medium Olive Coudé-Tip Single-Eye Foley Catheter 18Fr 30cc 12/Bx

This catheter is built for indwelling urinary drainage when a clinician has directed a specialty Tiemann tip catheter with larger 18Fr calibre and a 30cc balloon — typically for post-urological-surgery scenarios where output viscosity, blood, or clots favour a larger lumen and where the 30cc balloon supports haemostatic compression at the bladder neck. The Tiemann tip is a narrower, elongated coudé variant with a medium olive enlargement at the leading edge — supporting careful navigation through urethral resistance, strictures, or anatomical variation. The single drainage eye supports directed drainage flow matching tip orientation. The hydrogel-coated Lubricath shaft reduces insertion friction and resists encrustation across the indwelling wear period. Latex-allergic patients require silicone Tiemann alternatives — confirm material content on the specific SKU before use. The 12/Bx case format suits routine specialty catheter resupply at clinical, facility, and urology department stocking levels. Use only under healthcare professional direction by clinicians trained in Tiemann tip insertion and the clinical indications for 18Fr/30cc configurations.

Key Features

✔ Bard / Bardex Lubricath Foley catheter — specialty Tiemann configuration

✔ Tiemann tip with medium olive profile — narrower, elongated coudé variant

✔ Single drainage eye configuration

✔ Catheter size: 18Fr — larger adult specialty calibre

✔ Balloon size: 30cc / 30 ml — high-volume haemostatic compression balloon (verify clinical indication)

✔ Design: 2-way (drainage lumen + balloon inflation lumen)

✔ Hydrogel-coated Lubricath shaft for reduced insertion friction

✔ Balloon retention system for bladder anchoring or haemostatic compression

✔ Box quantity: 12 catheters per box

✔ Designed for specialty indwelling urinary drainage scenarios

✔ Specialty curved-tip Foley — not routine inventory

✔ Useful for clinical, facility, and trained-clinician catheterization routines

Benefits

✔ Tiemann tip navigates tighter urethral passages, stricture zones, and prostatic resistance where standard coudé tips may still deflect

✔ Medium olive tip provides a defined dilation profile for passage through known strictures or narrowings

✔ Single drainage eye supports directed drainage flow matching tip orientation — clinical preference in specialty catheterization scenarios

✔ Hydrogel coating absorbs water and forms a slick lubricated surface against the urethral wall — reduces insertion friction beyond dry lubricant alone

✔ Hydrogel layer reduces protein adsorption and encrustation across the indwelling wear period

✔ 18Fr larger calibre supports higher flow capacity when output viscosity, blood, clots, or sediment would obstruct smaller lumens

✔ 30cc balloon supports haemostatic compression at the bladder neck — clinical use after transurethral resection of the prostate or similar urological procedures

✔ 12/Bx case format supports routine specialty catheter resupply at clinical, facility, and urology department stocking levels

✔ Useful for users requiring specialty Foley catheter drainage under specialist clinical direction

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Post-urological-surgery indwelling drainage requiring larger lumen flow capacity for clots, blood, or sediment management

✔ Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or similar procedures requiring 30cc balloon haemostatic compression at the bladder neck

✔ Indwelling Foley placement in patients with confirmed or suspected urethral stricture requiring Tiemann navigation

✔ Specialist urology, post-procedural recovery, and complex catheter placement clinical settings

✔ Clinician-directed specialty catheterization where Tiemann tip and 18Fr/30cc configuration are specifically prescribed

✔ Patients without latex allergy or sensitivity (latex-allergic patients require silicone Tiemann alternatives — confirm by SKU)

✔ Trained-clinician catheterization routines — not for non-specialist insertion attempts

✔ Specialty catheter inventory resupply at the 12 ct facility stocking level

Usage/Application

Ideal for users who require an indwelling Foley catheter and have been directed to use an 18Fr, 30cc, 2-way Tiemann medium olive coudé-tip catheter. Use only under healthcare professional direction by clinicians trained in Tiemann tip insertion. The 30cc balloon is for haemostatic compression scenarios — confirm the clinical indication matches the balloon size before use. Follow proper catheter insertion, securement, drainage bag connection, hygiene, monitoring, and replacement guidance.
