Lubrisil Ic 3-Way Foley Catheter 16F,18F,20F,22F,24F (Silicone)

The Lubri-Sil I.C. 3-Way Foley Catheter is commonly used in medical settings for patients who require:

Post-operative drainage and irrigation following urological surgery, such as a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Continuous bladder irrigation to remove blood clots or other debris from the bladder.
Long-term indwelling catheterization where infection control is a priority.

Description

Key features

Antimicrobial coating: The “I.C.” stands for “Infection Control.” These catheters are coated with a Bacti-Guard silver alloy and a hydrogel, which is designed to reduce bacterial adherence and minimize biofilm formation, reducing the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).
3-way functionality: It has three separate channels, or lumens:
- Drainage: For the continuous drainage of urine.
- Inflation: For inflating the small balloon near the tip that secures the catheter in the bladder.
- Irrigation: For flushing the bladder with saline or other fluids to clear clots or debris.
100% silicone construction: This makes the catheter soft, flexible, and biocompatible, which is beneficial for patients with latex sensitivity. The silicone is also less prone to irritation and encrustation compared to latex.
Clear shaft: The transparency of the silicone shaft allows for a visual check of urine flow, helping to confirm correct placement in the bladder.
Lubricious surface: The hydrogel coating creates a smooth surface to reduce friction and improve patient comfort during insertion and removal.
French sizes: The catheter is available in multiple sizes to accommodate different patient needs. The “French” size (Fr) is a measurement of the catheter’s outer diameter.
Balloon capacity: Standard balloon capacities for the Lubri-Sil I.C. catheters are 5cc or 30cc, depending on the specific model.
