Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 20Fr 16 30cc Balloon Capacity

What is 68403720-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 20Fr 16 30cc Balloon Capacity?

The 68403720-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 20Fr 16 30cc Balloon Capacity is a sterile, single-use urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage. It features a two-way design with one lumen for urine drainage and another for inflating the 30cc balloon to secure placement. Constructed from latex and coated with silicone elastomer, this catheter offers enhanced lubricity and reduced friction during insertion, supporting patient comfort and minimizing urethral trauma. The 20Fr diameter and 16-inch length suit most adult patients requiring temporary catheterization in hospital, long-term care, or home environments.

Key features

• Sterile Packaging — Ensures safe, ready-to-use condition for infection control.
• Silicone Elastomer Coating — Reduces surface friction for easier, gentler insertion.
• Latex Material — Durable construction with reliable balloon integrity.
• 20Fr Diameter — Standard size for adult urinary drainage needs.
• 16-Inch Length — Suitable for typical adult anatomical requirements.
• 30cc Balloon Capacity — Provides secure retention when inflated with sterile water.
• Two-Way Design — Enables both drainage and balloon inflation through separate lumens.

Who is 68403720-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 20Fr 16 30cc Balloon Capacity for?

This catheter is intended for healthcare professionals and trained caregivers managing patients with urinary retention, post-surgical voiding dysfunction, or acute bladder obstruction. It is appropriate for short-term use in clinical settings or home care when sterile technique can be maintained. Not recommended for patients with latex allergies due to its natural rubber latex construction.

How does 68403720-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone Elastomer-Coated Latex Foley Catheter 20Fr 16 30cc Balloon Capacity compare?

Compared to standard polypropylene or PVC catheters, this latex-based option with silicone elastomer coating offers better flexibility and insertion ease. It is less suited for long-term use than 100% silicone catheters but provides a cost-effective solution for short-term needs. Compared to hydrophilic-coated catheters, it lacks pre-lubrication but remains more affordable. It performs well in clinical environments where sterility and reliable balloon function are priorities.
