Rusch® Gold Silicone‑Coated Latex 2-Way Foley Catheter5cc 16FR - 10/Bx

Why Choose Rusch® Gold Silicone-Coated Latex 2-Way Foley Catheter 5cc 16Fr 10/Bx

This catheter is built for routine indwelling urinary drainage when a clinician has directed a 16Fr 2-way Foley with a 5cc retention balloon in a silicone-coated latex construction. Rusch® is a long-established Foley catheter brand (Teleflex Medical) — the Rusch Gold product line represents Rusch's silicone-coated latex Foley range, distinguishable by the gold-colour catheter shaft that's characteristic of this construction. CRITICAL CLINICAL SAFETY NOTE: This catheter CONTAINS LATEX — the catheter shaft is latex with silicone coating applied over the latex base material. The silicone coating reduces protein adsorption and surface friction compared with uncoated latex, but the underlying material is latex — this catheter is CONTRAINDICATED for users with latex allergy or latex sensitivity. Confirm latex tolerance before use. Silicone-coated latex Foley construction is clinically distinct from: 100% silicone catheters (latex-free), silicone-elastomer coated (variable latex status), hydrogel-coated silicone (latex-free, e.g., Lubri-Sil), and hydrogel-coated latex (e.g., Bard Lubricath, CONTAINS LATEX). Silicone-coated latex represents a mid-tier insertion comfort Foley between uncoated latex (limited insertion comfort) and premium hydrogel-coated catheters (smoother insertion). The 2-way design uses one lumen for urine drainage and a separate lumen for balloon inflation. The 5cc balloon is the standard routine retention balloon volume. The 16Fr French size is a commonly used upper-mid adult indwelling calibre. The 10/Bx case format supports routine facility resupply. Length and sterility status must be confirmed on the specific SKU before publishing.

Key Features

✔ Rusch® Gold Foley urinary catheter

✔ Brand: Rusch® (Teleflex Medical)

✔ Product Line: Rusch Gold — silicone-coated latex Foley range

✔ Catheter size: 16Fr — common upper-mid adult indwelling calibre

✔ Balloon size: 5cc — standard routine retention balloon

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

✔ Construction: Silicone-coated latex — latex base material with silicone coating

✔ CONTAINS LATEX — contraindicated for latex-allergic users

✔ Catheter Colour: Gold-colour shaft characteristic of silicone-coated latex

✔ Box quantity: 10 catheters per box

✔ Length: confirm by SKU

✔ Sterility: confirm by SKU (typically sterile, individually packaged)

✔ Format: Disposable single-use catheter

✔ Designed for indwelling urinary drainage

✔ Retention balloon for bladder anchoring

✔ Useful for clinical care, facility care, and caregiver-assisted routines (with latex tolerance confirmed)

Benefits

✔ Silicone coating reduces protein adsorption and surface friction compared with uncoated latex — supports smoother insertion than uncoated latex

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

✔ 5cc balloon anchors the catheter in the bladder for routine drainage scenarios

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

✔ Mid-tier insertion comfort positioning — between uncoated latex and premium hydrogel-coated catheters

✔ 10/Bx case format supports routine facility resupply

✔ Useful for users with latex tolerance who don't require the premium insertion comfort of hydrogel-coated catheters

✔ Cost-effective silicone-coated latex alternative to premium 100% silicone or hydrogel-coated options

✔ Rusch brand consistency for facility procurement standardised on Rusch catheter products

✔ Useful for healthcare professionals managing indwelling catheter care under specialist clinical direction

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Post-surgical and post-procedural indwelling urinary drainage in clinical settings — confirm latex tolerance

✔ Acute urinary retention requiring continuous bladder drainage — confirm latex tolerance

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

✔ Users with confirmed latex tolerance not requiring latex-free catheter construction

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

✔ Clinical and facility supply for mid-tier silicone-coated latex Foley procurement

✔ Cost-effective procurement scenarios where premium 100% silicone or hydrogel-coated catheters are over-budget

✔ Specialist clinical direction by urology, urgent care, or continence care providers

✔ CONTRAINDICATED for latex-allergic patients — use 100% silicone (e.g., Bard Bardex Silicone) or hydrogel-coated silicone (e.g., Lubri-Sil) for latex-free requirements

Usage/Application

Ideal for patients who require a 16Fr 2-way Foley catheter with a 5cc balloon for indwelling urinary drainage. Use only by trained healthcare professionals or according to a prescribed catheter care plan. Confirm catheter size, balloon volume, material, latex status, length, and facility protocol before use.
