Who is 68402714-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 14Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity for?

This catheter is intended for patients requiring temporary urinary retention management, including post-surgical recovery, urinary retention, or immobility-related voiding issues. It is commonly used by healthcare professionals in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health environments. Due to the latex content, it is not suitable for individuals with latex allergies. Caregivers and clinicians seeking a reliable, cost-effective catheter with enhanced insertion comfort will find this product beneficial.

How does 68402714-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 14Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity compare?

Compared to standard polypropylene or uncoated latex catheters, this model offers improved insertion comfort due to its silicone elastomer coating. It is more affordable than fully silicone catheters while still providing reduced friction. Unlike 3-way catheters, it does not support irrigation, limiting use to drainage and retention. It matches standard 14Fr 16" sizing for compatibility with common care protocols. While latex-based options are cost-effective, they are less suitable for long-term use or sensitive patients compared to hydrophilic or silicone alternatives.
