What is MKAS42018S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc?

The MKAS42018S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc is a sterile, single-use urinary drainage device designed for reliable, short- to long-term catheterization. Constructed entirely from 100% silicone, this 18 French (Fr) catheter features a 30 cc balloon capacity and a reinforced tip to support easier insertion and reduce the risk of trauma during placement. As a two-way (dual-lumen) catheter, it allows for both urine drainage and balloon inflation through separate channels, ensuring secure positioning in the bladder.

Key features

• Reinforced Tip — Enhances structural integrity for smoother insertion and reduced risk of deflection.
• 30 cc Balloon — Provides secure retention in the bladder, minimizing accidental dislodgement.
• 18 Fr Size — Suitable for standard adult urinary drainage with balanced flow and comfort.
• Sterile Packaging — Ensures infection control and readiness for clinical or home use.
• Two-Way Design — Combines drainage and inflation lumens in one catheter for efficient operation.
• Latex-Free — Safe for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies.

Who is MKAS42018S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc for?

This catheter is designed for patients requiring indwelling urinary drainage due to urinary retention, post-surgical recovery, or neurological conditions affecting bladder control. It’s ideal for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home healthcare environments. The 100% silicone construction makes it especially suitable for patients needing extended catheterization, as silicone resists mineral buildup and tissue irritation better than latex or PVC alternatives.

How does MKAS42018S-Each Amsure 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane or latex Foley catheters, the 100% silicone construction of the MKAS42018S-Each offers improved biocompatibility and reduced risk of infection and encrustation over time. While silicone catheters typically cost more than latex versions, they are preferred for long-term use due to durability and patient comfort. Unlike hydrophilic-coated catheters, this model does not require pre-lubrication but still maintains a smooth surface for insertion. Its reinforced tip provides better handling than standard silicone catheters, which can be softer and more prone to bending during placement.
