Bardex Lubricath Latex 2-Way Foley Catheter, 30cc, 20 Fr - 12/Case

Bardex Lubricath Latex 2-Way Foley Catheter epitomizes excellence in urological care, facilitating seamless insertion and heightened comfort for the patient. Expertly designed to provide an efficient urinary drainage system, this catheter comes with a crucial advantage - the Bard hydrogel coating. This unique technology not only reduces friction during insertion and removal but also offers a protective cushion that minimizes urethral irritation and reduces the risk of damage.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Streamlined insertion offered by the hydrogel coating's low-friction surface.
• Enhanced patient comfort with the hydrophilic cushion that reduces irritation.
• Minimizes the risk of urethral damage by maintaining the catheter's integrity during use.
• Constructed for one-time, sterile use, ensuring patient safety and convenience.
• Designed for atraumatic insertion, the catheter causes less pain upon removal.
• The Bardex hydrogel coating's fluid absorption capabilities create a lubricating effect for easier insertion.
• Antimicrobial surface reduces bacterial adherence, contributing to better patient hygiene and reduced infection rates.

Inflation and Deflation Instructions:

• Position the catheter balloon inside the bladder, inflating it gradually as specified by the manufacturer.
• Utilize 9-10 cc of sterile water for the optimal 5 cc balloon inflation, ensuring reliability in drainage.
• In the event of deflation difficulties, re-seat the syringe and allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own, following hospital protocols for further assistance if necessary.
• Maintain a non-restricted catheter position within the bladder neck and ensure free urine flow as a standard operating practice.
• In cases of persistent balloon inflation, use mild syringe suction or hospital-approved methods to ensure deflation without damaging the catheter.
