Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2-way Foley catheter used for?
▾
A 2-way Foley catheter drains urine and inflates a retention balloon. One lumen removes urine, the other fills the balloon to hold the catheter in the bladder, making it ideal for short-term urinary management in medical or home settings.

▾
No, this catheter is latex-free, making it safer for patients with latex allergies. The hydrogel-coated material reduces irritation and supports biocompatibility during insertion and use.
How does the hydrogel coating improve catheter use?

The hydrogel coating absorbs water and creates a slippery surface, reducing friction during insertion. This minimizes urethral trauma, discomfort, and the risk of micro-injuries, especially beneficial in sensitive or difficult catheterizations.
