Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc

What is MKAS41016S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc?

The MKAS41016S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc is a sterile, single-use urinary drainage device designed for safe and effective short- to long-term catheterization. Constructed entirely from 100% silicone, this 16 French (Fr) catheter features a 5 cc balloon retention mechanism and a reinforced tip to support smooth insertion and minimize trauma. As a two-way (dual-lumen) catheter, it allows for both urine drainage and balloon inflation through separate channels, ensuring reliable performance in clinical or home care settings.

Key features

• 100% Silicone Material — Offers superior biocompatibility, reducing the risk of irritation and encrustation during extended use.
• Reinforced Tip — Enhances structural integrity for easier, safer insertion.
• 5 cc Balloon — Standard inflation volume securely holds the catheter in place once inserted.
• 16 Fr Size — Suitable for adult patients requiring standard-diameter catheterization.
• Sterile Packaging — Ensures infection control and readiness for immediate clinical use.
• Two-Way Lumen Design — Enables simultaneous urine drainage and balloon inflation.
• Latex-Free — Safe for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies.

Who is MKAS41016S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc for?

This catheter is designed for adults requiring intermittent or continuous urinary drainage due to urinary retention, post-surgical recovery, or neurological conditions affecting bladder control. It is especially suited for patients needing longer dwell times, as silicone’s inert nature reduces the risk of infection and tissue reaction. Healthcare providers, home care nurses, and trained caregivers can confidently use this device in hospital, long-term care, or home environments.

How does MKAS41016S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane or latex Foley catheters, the 100% silicone construction of the MKAS41016S-Each offers better biocompatibility and reduced risk of encrustation, making it ideal for extended use. While silicone catheters typically cost more than latex alternatives, their durability and lower complication rates often justify the investment. Unlike hydrophilic-coated catheters, it does not require pre-lubrication but may need additional lubricant during insertion. It matches standard 16 Fr catheters in size and function but outperforms in patient comfort over time.
