Suprapubic Silicone Urinary Foley Catheter Hypoallergenic Disposable Medical Consumables

Suprapubic Silicone Urinary Foley Catheter Hypoallergenic Disposable Medical Consumables

A silicone urinary Foley catheter is a medical device used for urinary drainage. It is a type of indwelling catheter that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. Foley catheters are commonly used in healthcare settings, particularly in patients who are unable to urinate on their own or require continuous urinary drainage.

Silicone Foley catheters are made from a flexible, biocompatible silicone material. Compared to other catheter materials like latex or rubber, silicone has several advantages. It is more resistant to encrustation and blockage, and it tends to cause less irritation and allergic reactions in patients who are sensitive to other materials. Silicone catheters are also more flexible and softer, which can enhance patient comfort during prolonged use.

The Foley catheter consists of a tube with an inflatable balloon at one end and drainage holes near the tip. Once the catheter is inserted into the bladder, the balloon is inflated with sterile water to hold the catheter in place and prevent it from slipping out. The drainage holes allow urine to flow from the bladder into a collection bag attached to the other end of the catheter.

It's important to note that the use of a Foley catheter carries some risks, including the possibility of urinary tract infections, bladder spasms, urethral trauma, and catheter-associated complications. Therefore, the insertion and management of Foley catheters should be performed by trained healthcare professionals following strict aseptic techniques to minimize the risk of complications.

Features:

- Medical-grade silicone material for enhanced patient comfort and long-term catheterization

- Puncture and exchange sets available

- Available with CE, ISO certificates.

Biocompatibility: Silicone is a biocompatible material, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body and less likely to cause allergic reactions or sensitivities. This makes silicone catheters suitable for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities to other materials.

Softness and Flexibility: Silicone catheters are typically softer and more flexible compared to catheters made from materials like latex or rubber. This can enhance patient comfort during prolonged catheterization, reducing discomfort and irritation.

Reduced Encrustation and Blockage: Silicone has a smoother surface compared to other materials, which makes it less likely to develop encrustation or blockage due to the buildup of urinary sediments or debris. This can help maintain better catheter function and reduce the need for catheter changes.

Durability: Silicone catheters are generally more durable and resistant to breakage compared to catheters made from other materials. This can result in a longer lifespan for the catheter and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Ease of Insertion: The flexibility and smoothness of silicone catheters can make them easier to insert into the bladder. This can be beneficial for patients and healthcare professionals during the catheterization procedure.

FAQ

Q: What does "suprapubic" mean for this catheter?
A: It means the catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the bladder, rather than through the urethra. This is often used for long-term bladder drainage.

Q: Why is silicone material beneficial?
A: Medical-grade silicone is naturally hypoallergenic, latex-free, and causes less tissue irritation. It's more comfortable for long-term use and reduces infection risks.

Q: Is this catheter truly hypoallergenic?
A: Yes, the silicone material is biocompatible and suitable for patients with sensitive skin or latex allergies.

Q: How long can this catheter be used?
A: While disposable, the exact duration should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your medical condition and clinical needs.

Q: What's the main advantage of this catheter design?
A: The suprapubic approach avoids urethral damage, reduces UTI risks, and provides more comfortable long-term drainage compared to traditional urethral catheters.
