Bardia 2-Way Foley Catheter 16 fr Silicone-Elastomer Coated 5cc Two Drainage Eyes Sterile Latex Disposable 10/bx

Why Choose Bardia 2-Way Foley Catheter 16Fr Silicone-Elastomer Coated 5cc

Silicone-elastomer coated latex Foley catheters sit in the middle of the catheter material hierarchy — between uncoated latex and fully silicone catheters. The silicone-elastomer coating smooths the latex surface, reducing the inherent friction of bare latex against the urethral mucosa during insertion and early dwell, while maintaining the natural flexibility and cost profile of a latex catheter. This coating is appropriate for standard-duration catheterisation where the additional smoothness of a hydrogel-coated catheter is not clinically indicated and where all-silicone construction is not required. The two drainage eyes — drainage apertures at the catheter tip — provide redundant drainage pathways: if one eye is obstructed by bladder wall mucosa or sediment, the second continues to drain, reducing the total catheter occlusion risk that single-eye catheters carry. 16Fr is the most commonly prescribed adult Foley calibre; 5cc is the standard adult retention balloon. 10 per box supports facility and home-care recurring supply. Latex catheter — confirm absence of latex allergy before use. Confirm length and packaging by exact SKU. Insertion and care under sterile technique and healthcare provider direction.

Key Features

✔ 16Fr standard adult calibre with 5cc retention balloon

✔ Silicone-elastomer coating for smoother insertion and reduced urethral friction vs. bare latex

✔ Two drainage eyes for redundant drainage and reduced occlusion risk

✔ 2-way design — drainage lumen and balloon inflation channel

✔ Sterile latex catheter — confirm latex allergy status before use

✔ 10 per box for facility and home-care supply

✔ Confirm length by exact SKU before dispensing

Benefits

✔ Silicone-elastomer coating reduces bare latex surface friction during insertion

✔ Two drainage eyes reduce total catheter occlusion risk from mucosal or sediment obstruction

✔ 16Fr calibre provides adequate adult drainage at a widely available standard size

✔ 5cc balloon delivers standard adult bladder retention

✔ 10-count box supports facility and home-care recurring catheter supply needs

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Standard adult indwelling catheterisation where silicone-elastomer coating is clinically appropriate

✔ Routine Foley catheterisation in clinical, long-term care, and home-care settings

✔ Patients without latex allergy requiring short to medium-term indwelling drainage

✔ Facility catheter supply programmes requiring 10-count box format

✔ Post-surgical and post-procedure bladder drainage requiring standard 16Fr 5cc Foley

Usage & Care

Confirm absence of latex sensitivity or allergy before use — the Bardia catheter is latex construction. Insertion must be performed using sterile technique by or under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. Inflate the 5cc balloon only after confirming bladder placement. Secure with a catheter securement device. Maintain a closed drainage system. Follow CAUTI prevention protocol throughout dwell. Replace per the manufacturer's recommended dwell interval or institutional catheter care protocol.
