Medline 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 10cc 18fr

Why Choose the Medline 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter – 10 cc – 18 Fr

The Medline 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter is designed for indwelling urinary catheterization where a 2-way catheter is required. The silicone-elastomer coating provides a smooth catheter surface, while the 10 cc balloon and 18 Fr size support urinary drainage and catheter retention when used according to clinical protocol — the coated-latex workhorse in a fully specified size.

Usage/Application

Ideal for indwelling urinary catheterization, urinary drainage care, hospitals, long-term care facilities, home care nursing, post-procedure care, and users who require a Medline 18 Fr 2-way silicone-elastomer-coated latex Foley catheter with a 10 cc balloon. The specification reads clinically: 18 Fr is a common adult indwelling size selected by the prescriber for the patient, the 2-way build runs the standard configuration — drainage lumen plus the balloon lumen inflated to the marked 10 cc capacity with sterile water per protocol — and the material is the deciding line item: silicone-elastomer-coated latex pairs a latex core's flexibility with a smooth coating for insertion comfort, a widely used construction for routine catheterizations, with one absolute screen attached — it remains a latex product, so latex allergy or sensitivity contraindicates it, routing those patients to the 100% silicone alternative, which is exactly the choice this catheter and its all-silicone Medline sibling exist to offer between them. The professional boundary holds as ever: insertion, inflation, securement, and removal are trained-provider tasks under sterile technique and a prescriber's direction, with home care management running inside a nurse-supported plan. In service, the protective rules are the routine: closed drainage system maintained and kept below bladder level, tubing without kinks or dependent loops, securement preventing balloon traction, hygiene and handling per catheter-associated infection prevention protocols, and changes on the schedule the provider sets. Cloudy or foul urine, blood, leakage around the catheter, absent drainage, pain, or fever are prompt clinical calls — and the latex-allergy screen is asked before the package is opened, not after.
