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

Why Choose Bardia 2-Way Foley Catheter 16Fr Silicone-Elastomer Coated 10cc Single

This catheter is built for routine indwelling urinary drainage when a clinician has directed a 16Fr 2-way Foley with a 10cc retention balloon — typical for post-surgical recovery, acute retention, ward catheter management, and routine indwelling drainage scenarios at the upper-mid adult calibre. Bardia is Bard's value-tier Foley catheter line — a separate product line from Bard's premium Bardex range, offering routine Foley configurations for clinical and facility use. The silicone-elastomer coating is a critical specification: the catheter shaft is latex with a silicone-elastomer coating applied over it — the coating reduces protein adsorption, friction, and direct latex contact with the urethral mucosa, but the underlying material is still latex. This is clinically distinct from 100% silicone catheters (latex-free throughout) — confirm latex-allergy status on the user and the SKU warning labelling before use. The 16Fr French size is a commonly used upper-mid adult indwelling calibre. The 2-way design uses one lumen for urine drainage and a separate lumen for balloon inflation. The 10cc balloon is the standard retention balloon volume for this calibre — anchors the catheter in the bladder for routine drainage. The two drainage eyes admit urine into the catheter lumen. Single sterile catheter format suits clinical procedures requiring individual sterile packaging. Bard (now BD/Becton Dickinson) is a long-established US-origin urology brand with deep specialisation in Foley catheter design.

✔ Quantity: Single catheter

Benefits

✔ 2-way Foley design supports continuous indwelling urinary drainage with bladder retention via inflated balloon

✔ 10cc balloon anchors the catheter in the bladder for routine drainage scenarios

✔ 16Fr calibre supports clinically reasonable drainage flow at an upper-mid adult size

✔ Silicone-elastomer coating reduces protein adsorption and friction compared with uncoated latex shafts

✔ Coating reduces direct latex contact with urethral mucosa but does NOT make the catheter latex-free

✔ Two drainage eyes admit urine into the catheter lumen at the bladder end

✔ Sterile individually packaged format suits clinical procedures requiring sterile-field protocol

✔ Single-use disposable format supports hygienic catheter care and CAUTI prevention

✔ Useful for users who require Foley catheter drainage under specialist clinical direction

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Post-surgical and post-procedural indwelling urinary drainage in clinical settings

✔ Acute urinary retention requiring continuous bladder drainage

✔ ICU, ward, hospice, and long-term care indwelling Foley management at 16Fr calibre

✔ NOT for latex-allergic patients — silicone-elastomer coated latex still contains latex and is contraindicated for latex allergy

✔ Routine 2-way Foley scenarios — not for continuous bladder irrigation (3-way Foley required)

✔ Clinical and facility supply for routine Foley use at the single-catheter sterile packaging level

✔ Sterile-field clinical procedures requiring individually packaged catheter supply

Usage/Application

Ideal for users who require an indwelling Foley catheter for urinary drainage and have been directed to use a 16Fr, 10cc, silicone-elastomer coated 2-way catheter. Use only under healthcare professional direction. Follow proper catheter insertion, securement, drainage bag connection, hygiene, monitoring, and replacement guidance.
