Catheter Foley 2 Way 10fr 3cc 100% Silicone Sterile 10/Bx single

Why Choose 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter 10Fr 3cc

The 10Fr 3cc combination is the smallest standard adult indwelling Foley catheter configuration — it is specified when the smallest possible urethral calibre is the clinical priority. The primary indications are paediatric or adolescent catheterisation, female catheterisation where the smallest calibre reduces urethral trauma in sensitive or narrow urethral anatomy, and long-term indwelling catheterisation where minimising urethral cross-sectional occupation reduces the chronic urethral irritation and tissue hypertrophy that larger calibres cause at the urethral meatus and along the urethra during extended dwell. The 3cc balloon is the correspondingly small retention balloon for the 10Fr catheter — larger balloons at small calibres create balloon-to-catheter shaft proportion problems and urethral irritation, and the 3cc balloon provides adequate retention with the smallest bladder-neck footprint. 100% silicone construction is the material of choice for long-term indwelling catheterisation — it does not degrade with body fluids, does not leach chemical softeners as PVC catheters can over extended dwell periods, and is safe for patients with latex allergy without the intermediate silicone-elastomer coating layer that silicone-coated latex catheters provide. For users who require the smallest standard Foley calibre at the longest possible dwell interval, 100% silicone at 10Fr 3cc is the appropriate specification combination.

Key Features

✔ 10Fr — smallest standard adult Foley calibre for minimal urethral trauma

✔ 3cc retention balloon — smallest standard balloon appropriate for 10Fr catheter

✔ 100% silicone construction — latex-free, no leaching softeners, long-dwell appropriate

✔ Sterile packaging for clinical and home care indwelling catheterisation

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

✔ 10 per box

Benefits

✔ 10Fr minimises urethral occupation and trauma for sensitive or narrow urethral anatomy

✔ 3cc balloon provides adequate retention with smallest bladder-neck contact footprint

✔ 100% silicone is latex allergy-safe and suitable for extended dwell indwelling use

✔ Silicone does not degrade with body fluids or leach softeners over long dwell periods

✔ Smallest calibre reduces chronic urethral irritation in long-term catheterisation

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Long-term indwelling catheterisation requiring smallest calibre with maximum dwell compatibility

✔ Latex allergy or latex sensitivity requiring 100% silicone non-latex indwelling catheter

✔ Female indwelling catheterisation where smallest calibre reduces urethral trauma

✔ Paediatric and adolescent indwelling catheterisation at smallest standard calibre

✔ Urethral-sensitive patients where larger Foley calibres cause urethral irritation or hypertrophy

Usage & Care

Insertion must be performed using sterile technique by or under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. Inflate with sterile water (not saline) per the balloon manufacturer's specification — 3cc only. Secure with a catheter securement device. Maintain a closed drainage system. Change per clinical protocol. For long-term catheterisation, follow CAUTI prevention bundle including regular catheter site hygiene and clinical review of catheter necessity at each reassessment.
