Bardia Latex Foley Catheter with Silicone Elastomer Coating

Description

A specially formulated silicone elas­tomer coating is bonded to the inner and outer catheter surfaces, and remains on the catheter. The bardia silicone elastomer coating will not peel or weep. It minimizes encrusation, protects against irritation, and enhances overall patient comfort.

• Tip and Eye: Round, Smooth tip facilitates insertion and helps reduce irritation of urethral mucosa Notch in tip holds style! properly to minimize risk of slippage. Two opposing, smooth eye are sized for maximum drainage and positioned to reduce risk of kinking.
• Balloon: Individually made and pretested to ensure strength and symmetry, the balloon is manufac­tured separately to occlusion of inflation eye, a problem associated with the use of masking compounds in manufacturing. Bard Foley balloons hold catheter tip upright to facilitate drainage.
• Shaft and Drainage Lumen: Special latex formulation and multi-dip process provide flexibility with strong walls to resist kinking and collapse. Round, silicone elastomer coated drainage lumen enhances flow rate and resists encrustation.
• Drainage Funnel and Inflation Valve: Drainage Funnel is designed with thick tapered wall to provide secure connection to drainage tube and to help eliminate kinking and collapse during aspiration. Inflation valve accommodates a luer tip or luer lock syringe. Self-sealing for confidence and color-coded for visualization of French size.
