3-way Standard Latex Silicone Coated Foley Catheter | Continuous Irrigation, 400mm, 10-50ml Balloon, Anti-Encrustation

Description

3-way Standard Latex Silicone Coated Foley Catheter: Irrigation and Post-Operative Management

As a key supplier of surgical and urological consumables, we offer the 3-way Standard Latex Silicone Coated Foley Catheter for large-scale international bulk procurement. This catheter is an indispensable device for post-operative care, particularly after urological surgeries (like TURP) where continuous irrigation is necessary to clear the bladder. The 3-way design is the specialized feature that incorporates an extra lumen for irrigation and drug delivery alongside the standard drainage and balloon inflation channels.

This catheter is designed for durability and patient protection. It is manufactured from natural rubber but is thoroughly coated with silicone to eliminate the risk of encrustation and minimize urethral irritation. The 400mm length is the standard for adult patients. The design ensures reliable retention and superior protection against leakage, featuring a symmetrical large capacity balloon that promotes good sphincter action and a straight tip for proper flow.

Wholesale Advantage: Cost-Effective Irrigation and Safety

For procurement managers seeking a high-volume, cost-effective solution for post-operative drainage, this silicone-coated latex catheter provides the critical 3-way functionality without the higher cost of 100\% silicone models. The anti-encrustation coating makes it suitable for extended wear times often required during post-operative recovery.

Core Functionality and Design Features

• Continuous Irrigation Lumen: The central feature is the extra lumen for irrigation and drug delivery. This lumen is essential for continuous irrigation capabilities, used to help remove tissue chips, blood clots, and other debris from the bladder after surgery.
• Drug Delivery: Medications, such as antibiotic agents, can be introduced via a continuous drip method through the irrigation lumen. If irrigation is discontinued, the lumen may be easily closed with a clamp or catheter plug.
• Anti-Encrustation Coating: The core natural rubber is coated with silicone to significantly eliminate the risk of encrustation, ensuring the catheter remains functional and smooth during indwelling use.
• Leakage Prevention: Features a symmetrical large capacity balloon that ensures a secure fit, promotes good sphincter action, and effectively prevents bladder leakage.
• Atraumatic Insertion: The distal end is coned with burr free eyes that are smooth and proportional, providing atraumatic intubation and protecting the patient’s delicate urethral tissue.
• Secure Valve System: A Hard valve ensures easy inflation and deflation of the balloon while maintaining a reliable, leak-proof seal at the inflation port.
• Sterile Supply: The catheter is supplied Sterile, individually packed in a peekable pack, maintaining aseptic standards prior to use.

Sizing and Capacity Versatility

This adult-sized catheter is supplied in the standard 400mm length and offers an extensive range of balloon capacities to meet diverse surgical needs.

• Length: Standard adult 400mm length.
• Balloon Capacity Range: A wide range of 10ml, 15ml, 30ml   or  50ml available. The 50ml capacity is particularly useful in procedures requiring higher retention force or temporary hemostasis.
• Identification: The catheter is Color coded for instant size identification, ensuring quick and accurate selection by clinical staff.
• Material: Natural rubber base with Silicone coating.

Detailed Post-Operative Application

The 3-way Standard Latex Silicone Coated Foley Catheter is critical for managing post-operative bleeding and debris:

• Clot Management: The large irrigation channel facilitates the quick introduction of saline or other solutions to flush out blood clots and residual tissue, preventing catheter blockage.
• Hemostasis: The large capacity balloon, especially the 50ml option, can be inflated to apply gentle pressure to the prostatic fossa or bladder neck, aiding in post-surgical hemostasis.
• Reduced Complications: The silicone coating reduces friction, which can minimize the risk of secondary infections and irritation during the often complex recovery period.
