About 570165SI24-Each Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc
What is 570165SI24-Each Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc?
The 570165SI24-Each Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc is a sterile, single-use urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage. It features a silver hydrogel coating, which is engineered to reduce microbial adherence and lower the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). With a 24 French (Fr) diameter and a 5 cc balloon capacity, this two-way catheter allows for both insertion and urine drainage through separate lumens, making it suitable for clinical and home healthcare environments.
Key features
- Sterile Packaging — Ensures safe, ready-to-use condition for infection control.
- Silver Hydrogel Coating — Helps inhibit bacterial colonization on the catheter surface.
- 24 Fr Size — Suitable for adult patients requiring standard large-bore drainage.
- 5 cc Balloon — Provides secure retention once placed in the bladder.
- Two-Way Design — Enables inflation and urine drainage through dual lumens.
- Bardex Branding — Trusted in clinical settings for urological care reliability.
- Latex-Free Material — Reduces allergy risk for sensitive patients.
Who is 570165SI24-Each Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc for?
This catheter is intended for healthcare professionals and caregivers managing patients with urinary retention, post-surgical voiding dysfunction, or those in critical care needing monitored output. It’s ideal for short-term use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home health setups where infection prevention is a priority. Patients with known latex sensitivities may benefit from its latex-free construction.
How does 570165SI24-Each Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc compare?
Compared to standard polypropylene or latex Foley catheters, this Bardex model offers enhanced infection control through its silver hydrogel coating—a feature typically found in premium antimicrobial catheters. While uncoated catheters may be less expensive, they lack the same level of microbial resistance. It matches standard 24 Fr catheters in size and function but stands out in clinical settings prioritizing CAUTI reduction. It is comparable to other antimicrobial catheters but may offer better biocompatibility due to its hydrogel surface.
Best use cases
- →Short-term post-surgical drainage
- →Hospital urinary retention management
- →CAUTI risk reduction in ICU
- →Home care for temporary catheterization
- →Critical care urine output monitoring
Is Bardex Infection Control 2-way Foley Catheter 24 Fr 5 Cc right for you?
This catheter is best for medical professionals or trained caregivers managing patients with temporary urinary retention. It requires basic catheterization knowledge and sterile technique. Consider this if infection prevention is a priority. Alternatives include standard latex or silicone Foley catheters, but they lack antimicrobial protection. Always confirm French size and balloon volume with a healthcare provider before use.
How it compares: Compared to standard Foley catheters, this Bardex model offers superior infection control via silver hydrogel coating. It outperforms uncoated latex or polyurethane options in microbial resistance but costs more. Ideal for clinical settings focused on reducing CAUTIs versus basic home-use alternatives.
