Specialty:
- Medical-grade silicone-coated Foley catheter designed for professional healthcare use.

- Suitable for use with standard urinary drainage bags and catheter fixation devices.
- Designed to support both short-term and longer-term catheterization as directed by a healthcare provider.
Key Ingredients:
- Silicone-coated catheter tubing – provides a smooth, low-friction surface to enhance comfort and reduce irritation.
- Natural rubber latex core (common in many Foley catheters, but exact composition for this specific product is not confirmed – latex content: information unavailable).
- Additional material or coating details: information unavailable.
Texture & Finish:
- Soft, smooth, and pliable tubing with a gentle, low-friction surface for more comfortable placement and wear.
- Supple feel along the catheter length with a slightly firmer tip to aid insertion by healthcare professionals.
- Clear or lightly tinted medical-grade finish (exact color: information unavailable), designed for a clean, clinical appearance.
How to Use:
- Use only under the direction and insertion of a trained healthcare professional or nurse; do not attempt self-insertion without medical supervision.
- Before insertion, ensure the catheter and all accessories (lubricant, antiseptic solution, drainage bag) are prepared according to aseptic technique.
- The healthcare professional will cleanse the urethral area, apply sterile lubricant to the catheter tip, and gently insert the catheter until urine begins to flow.
- Once urine flow is observed, the balloon is inflated with sterile water (up to 30 ml/cc as indicated for this catheter) via the balloon port to secure the catheter in place.
- Connect the catheter to a sterile urinary drainage bag, position the bag below bladder level, and regularly empty and clean the system as instructed. Catheter changes and duration of use must follow medical advice.
Suitable For:
- Skin Types: Suitable for use on intact skin around the urethral and perineal area; patients with very sensitive or allergy-prone skin should be assessed for potential silicone or latex sensitivity.
- Hair Types: Not applicable – this is a urinary catheter, not a haircare product.
- Concerns: Limited mobility, post-surgical care, urinary retention, incontinence management, and maintaining intimate hygiene when independent toileting is not possible.
Results:
- Immediate and continuous urinary drainage once correctly inserted and connected to a drainage bag.
- Helps keep the perineal area drier and cleaner, supporting comfort and hygiene throughout use when combined with regular cleansing and proper catheter care.
Side Effects:
- May cause local discomfort, pressure, or mild irritation at the urethral opening or along the urethra, especially during initial insertion.
- In individuals sensitive to catheter materials (e.g., latex where present), allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, or itching may occur.
- Potential complications with prolonged or improper use include urinary tract infections, urethral irritation, or bladder spasms; these require medical attention.
- Note: If severe pain, burning, bleeding, fever, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, or any signs of infection or allergic reaction occur, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
Precautions:
- Use only under medical supervision and insertion by trained healthcare personnel.
- Avoid use in individuals with known allergy to silicone or latex (if latex is present) – material composition should be checked before use.
- For external medical use only as a urinary drainage device; not a cosmetic or skincare product.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if significant discomfort, leakage, or signs of infection occur.
- Follow all professional instructions for aseptic insertion, balloon inflation (do not exceed 30 ml/cc), maintenance, and removal.
- Keep out of reach of children and do not allow untrained individuals to handle or insert the catheter.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects; keep in original sterile packaging until use.
