Frequently Asked Questions
What is the balloon capacity of this Foley catheter?
▾
The balloon capacity is 5 cc, which is standard for secure bladder retention without overinflation. Always use sterile water to inflate and never exceed the labeled volume to prevent rupture or trauma.
Does this catheter contain latex?
▾
Yes, this Curity Ultramer catheter is made from natural latex rubber. It should not be used on patients with known latex allergies. Consider silicone alternatives for hypersensitive individuals.
How long can the 681624-Box Curity Ultramer catheter remain in place?
▾

Is the hydrogel coating pre-activated?
▾
Yes, the hydrogel coating is pre-lubricated and ready for use straight from the sterile package. No additional lubricants are needed, reducing contamination risk during insertion.
