Medical Disposable 2-Way Silicone Coated Latex Foley Catheter 6FR Urology Device
Catheter: A catheter is a flexible tube that is inserted into the body to drain fluids, administer medications, or perform other medical procedures. In the context of urology, a catheter is commonly used for urinary drainage. It is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to allow for the passage of urine.
2-Way Catheter: A 2-way catheter typically refers to a urinary catheter with two channels or lumens. One lumen is used for urine drainage, and the other lumen is used for inflating or deflating the balloon that holds the catheter in place. This design allows for continuous drainage of urine and ensures the catheter remains securely in the bladder.
Silicone-Coated: The catheter you mentioned is coated with silicone. Silicone coating provides a smooth surface that can enhance comfort during insertion and removal of the catheter. It can also help reduce friction and irritation, potentially minimizing the risk of trauma to the urethra or bladder.
6FR Size: The "6FR" size refers to the French gauge of the catheter. The French gauge (FR) is a measurement system used to determine the diameter of catheters and other medical tubing. A 6FR catheter has a specific diameter that is suitable for certain medical procedures or patient needs. The appropriate catheter size is determined by healthcare professionals based on the individual patient's anatomy and condition.

What is a 2 way Foley catheter used for?
Two-way Foleys are indwelling urinary catheters used to empty the bladder when a person cannot independently do so; Designed with two channels enclosed in a single flexible tube, two-way Foley catheters are inserted through the urethra and held in place by a small balloon inflated with a sterile solution.
What is the difference between silicone and latex urinary catheters?
Silicone is tissue friendly, hypoallergenic, and causes less irritation than latex. Patients with a known latex allergy should not be treated with a latex catheter. Silicone catheters are cuffed with sterile water for use up to 2 weeks; for longer term usage, glycerine solution should be used to avoid fluid diffusion.
Which is stronger silicone or latex?
Natural rubber exhibits much higher tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance than silicone
