Key Benefits
- 100% medical-grade silicone — hypoallergenic and latex-free for improved patient tolerance.
- FG18 (18Fr) sizing — suitable for adult urinary drainage and common clinical indications.
- 5–10 ml inflation balloon — secure retention with clear inflation volume guidance.
- Atraumatic rounded tip and smooth surface — easier insertion and reduced urethral irritation.
- Single-use sterile device — minimises infection risk when used per protocol.
Ingredients and Materials
Constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone (biocompatible, medical implant grade). Includes silicone catheter shaft, silicone inflation balloon, integrated drainage eyes and a catheter hub for secure connection to drainage systems. Latex-free and designed for compatibility with standard drainage bags and closed urinary systems.
How to Use
- Only trained healthcare professionals should perform catheter insertion under aseptic technique.
- Open sterile package and inspect for damage. Lubricate catheter tip with sterile water-soluble lubricant.
- Gently insert catheter until urine flows. Inflate the balloon using sterile water within the recommended 5–10 ml volume to secure placement.
- Attach catheter to a closed drainage bag and secure tubing to patient to prevent tugging.
- Follow local clinical protocols for maintenance, care, and catheter changes to minimise infection and complications.
Who It’s For
Intended for adult patients requiring indwelling urinary catheters, including perioperative management, urinary retention, prolonged bladder drainage, immobile patients, and other clinical scenarios where a reliable silicone Foley catheter is indicated. Use only as directed by a clinician.
Caution & Storage
Caution: Risk of urinary tract infection and urethral trauma exists with any indwelling catheter. Do not exceed the recommended balloon inflation volume. Use sterile water (not saline) to inflate the balloon. Single-use only — discard after removal. Do not use if packaging is damaged or seal is broken. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep out of reach of children and follow institutional infection-control protocols.
