• Sterile Packaging — Ready for clinical or home use with no additional sterilization required.
• Single-Use Design — Ensures hygiene and reduces infection risk with each application.

Who is 57806520-Each 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc for?

This catheter is intended for patients requiring temporary urinary retention management, including post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions affecting bladder control, or acute urinary obstruction. It is ideal for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home healthcare settings. The 100% silicone construction makes it a preferred option for patients with latex sensitivities or those needing reduced tissue irritation. Healthcare providers and trained caregivers will find it easy to insert and manage with standard protocols.

How does 57806520-Each 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 20 Fr 5 Cc compare?

Compared to latex or PVC catheters, this 100% silicone option offers superior biocompatibility and reduced risk of allergic reactions. Silicone is less prone to mineral buildup than standard polypropylene or rubber catheters, supporting cleaner drainage over short durations. While more expensive than basic latex models, it provides better patient comfort and safety. Unlike hydrophilic-coated catheters, it does not require pre-lubrication but may need additional lubricant during insertion. It matches standard 20 Fr performance while offering material advantages for sensitive users.
