Bardex Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 14 Fr 5 Cc Coude

What is 570170SI14-Case Bardex Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 14 Fr 5 Cc Coude?

The 570170SI14-Case Bardex Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 14 Fr 5 Cc Coude is a sterile, single-use urinary catheter engineered for reliable, short-to-long-term bladder drainage. Constructed entirely from 100% silicone, this coude-tip catheter is designed for patients with urethral obstructions or prostate enlargement, allowing easier passage through narrowed areas. It features a 5 cc balloon retention system and a two-way lumen configuration for both urine drainage and balloon inflation. Coated with silver hydrogel, it helps reduce microbial colonization and biofilm formation, supporting infection control in clinical and home settings.

Key features

• 100% Silicone Material — Biocompatible, latex-free construction reduces irritation and risk of allergic reactions.
• Silver Hydrogel Coating — Helps inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm development, supporting lower CAUTI risk.
• Coude Tip Design — Curved tip facilitates navigation through obstructed or tortuous urethras, especially in males.
• 2-Way Lumen — Dual-channel system for urine drainage and balloon inflation with standard 10 mL syringe.
• 14 Fr Size — Suitable for adult patients requiring moderate flow with minimal urethral trauma.
• Infection Control Focus — Engineered for clinical environments prioritizing catheter-associated infection reduction.
• Single-Use Sterile Packaging — Ensures safety and sterility prior to application.

Who is 570170SI14-Case Bardex Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 14 Fr 5 Cc Coude for?

This catheter is intended for adult patients with urinary retention, particularly those with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral strictures requiring a coude tip for insertion. It is well-suited for hospital, long-term care, or home health use where infection prevention is a priority. Clinicians and caregivers managing post-surgical or neurogenic bladder patients will find this device beneficial due to its silicone durability and antimicrobial coating.

How does 570170SI14-Case Bardex Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 14 Fr 5 Cc Coude compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane or latex Foley catheters, this 100% silicone option offers superior biocompatibility and reduced tissue irritation over extended use. The silver hydrogel coating differentiates it from uncoated models by actively supporting infection control, making it a preferred choice in high-risk environments. While more expensive than conventional catheters, its design supports longer dwell times and lower complication rates, offering value in clinical settings focused on patient safety and reduced CAUTI incidence.
