Catheter foley silicone coated 2-way, 10cc, 16fr, case/12 each

Why Choose the Silicone Coated Foley Catheter?

The silicone coating on this catheter addresses the most common sources of patient discomfort and urological complication during indwelling catheterisation: insertion friction and urethral tissue irritation from sustained contact with the catheter surface. Silicone-coated catheters present a smoother, lower-friction surface than plain latex alternatives, reducing the mechanical trauma associated with insertion and the chronic irritation associated with extended wear. This makes them more appropriate than plain latex for patients with urethral sensitivity, and a standard clinical choice for short to medium-term indwelling catheterisation across hospital and home care settings. The 2-way design separates the drainage and balloon inflation functions into dedicated lumens — the main lumen drains urine continuously while the secondary lumen inflates the 10cc retention balloon that anchors the catheter in the bladder. The 16 French size is the most common adult catheter diameter and provides effective drainage across a broad patient population. The colour-coded funnel at the drainage and inflation ports allows quick identification of the correct port during catheter management. Sterile individually packaged and single-use. Case of 12.

Key Features

• 16 French (16Fr) — standard adult catheter size for effective bladder drainage
• 2-way design — dedicated lumens for drainage and balloon inflation
• 10cc retention balloon for secure anchoring in the bladder after insertion
• Silicone-coated latex surface reduces insertion friction and sustained urethral tissue irritation
• Flexible shaft accommodates patient movement and anatomy during indwelling use
• Colour-coded funnel for clear identification of drainage and inflation ports
• Individually sterile packaged, single-use design
• 12 catheters per case

Benefits

• Silicone coating reduces friction during insertion and chronic irritation during indwelling use
• Smoother surface compared to plain latex improves patient comfort and tolerability
• 10cc balloon provides reliable, stable bladder retention without excessive volume
• 2-way lumen design keeps drainage and balloon inflation pathways independent
• 16Fr size meets standard clinical indwelling catheterisation requirements for most adult patients
• Sterile single-use packaging ensures consistent sterility and eliminates reprocessing

Clinical & Typical Applications

Patients with urinary retention requiring indwelling catheterisation for bladder drainage in hospital, long-term care, or home care settings

Post-surgical patients requiring indwelling catheterisation for urinary drainage and output monitoring during the post-operative recovery period

Patients in intensive care or high-dependency units where accurate urine output monitoring is required as part of fluid balance management

Long-term care and home care patients requiring short to medium-term indwelling catheterisation who benefit from the reduced irritation of a silicone-coated surface

Palliative care patients requiring comfortable indwelling catheterisation where reduction of insertion friction and urethral irritation is a clinical priority

Patients with urethral sensitivity or prior catheter-associated discomfort who may benefit from the improved surface properties of silicone-coated over plain latex catheters
