Description
Foley Catheter for Indwelling Urinary Catheterization
The Foley Catheter for Indwelling Urinary Catheterization is a medical care essential for patients requiring regular or intermittent urinary drainage. This advanced medical device is designed with superior standards for comfortable, efficient, and practical use in medical facilities or home care environments.
Features & Usage
- Indwelling or haemostatic urethral catheterization: Primarily designed for urine drainage or bladder irrigation, the Foley Catheter facilitates urinary system maintenance for patients with bladder dysfunction, lower urinary tract surgeries, and other relevant conditions.
- Lubrication: The latex urethral catheter must be lubricated with medical lubricants before use to ensure a seamless, discomfort-free insertion process. A superlubricous version only requires sterile water for optimal lubrication.
- Easy Insertion: The catheter ensures a smooth placement process into the bladder by following the indicated urine flow, with a further 3cm required following initial indication.
- Water Filling: The valve bush must be held whilst inserting a needle-free syringe to introduce a regulated amount of sterile water. The catheter is then gently pulled outward until it chokes the bladder with the inflated balloon.
- Simplified Removal: The catheter offers a painless removal procedure. This is achieved by inserting an empty syringe into the valve to allow the water to flow out naturally, or by cutting off the shaft for quick drainage of water.
- Retention Time: The retention time aligns with clinical and nursing requirements, allowing for maximum flexibility in continuum patient care.
