Amsure 2-way Silicone-coated Foley Catheter 22 Fr 30 Cc

What is MKAS42022-Each Amsure 2-way Silicone-coated Foley Catheter 22 Fr 30 Cc?

The MKAS42022-Each Amsure 2-way Silicone-coated Foley Catheter 22 Fr 30 Cc is a single-use, sterile urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage. It features a silicone coating over a latex base, offering smoother insertion and reduced irritation compared to standard latex catheters. With a 22 French (Fr) diameter and a 30 cc balloon capacity, this two-way catheter allows for both insertion and urine drainage through separate lumens. The reinforced tip enhances structural integrity during placement, minimizing the risk of damage or leakage.

Key features

• Silicone Coating — Provides a smoother surface for easier, more comfortable insertion.
• 22 Fr Size — Suitable for adult patients requiring standard-diameter catheterization.
• 30 Cc Balloon — Ensures secure retention in the bladder during use.
• Reinforced Tip — Adds durability and reduces risk of tip deformation.
• Sterile Packaging — Maintains hygiene and prevents contamination prior to use.
• Two-way Design — Allows inflation of the balloon and urine drainage through separate channels.
• Latex with Silicone Coating — Combines strength of latex with biocompatibility of silicone.

Who is MKAS42022-Each Amsure 2-way Silicone-coated Foley Catheter 22 Fr 30 Cc for?

This catheter is intended for healthcare professionals and caregivers managing patients with urinary retention, post-surgical voiding difficulties, or those requiring accurate output monitoring. It suits clinical environments like hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health settings. Patients with sensitivity to pure latex may benefit from the silicone coating, though it is not fully latex-free. It's best used for short-term catheterization due to material composition.

How does MKAS42022-Each Amsure 2-way Silicone-coated Foley Catheter 22 Fr 30 Cc compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane or 100% silicone catheters, this silicone-coated latex option offers a cost-effective balance between performance and comfort. It provides better insertion ease than uncoated latex catheters but may not be suitable for long-term use or patients with severe latex allergies. Relative to premium all-silicone models, it is less biocompatible over extended periods but more affordable. Among 22 Fr 30 cc catheters, its reinforced tip adds reliability during placement, differentiating it from basic models without structural enhancements.
