Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter 30Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity

What is 68402730-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter 30Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity?

The 68402730-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter 30Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity is a sterile, single-use urinary catheter designed for short-term bladder drainage. It features a two-way lumen system: one for urine drainage and another for balloon inflation to secure placement. Constructed with latex and coated in silicone-elastomer, this catheter offers smoother insertion and reduced urethral irritation compared to uncoated latex models. The 30Fr diameter and 16-inch length suit standard adult anatomy, while the 5cc balloon ensures secure retention when inflated with sterile water.

Key features

• Sterile Packaging — Ensures safe, infection-free use upon opening.
• Silicone-Elastomer Coating — Enhances lubricity and minimizes mucosal trauma during insertion.
• Latex Material with Coating — Combines durability with improved biocompatibility.
• 30Fr Diameter — Suitable for patients requiring larger bore catheters for efficient drainage.
• 5cc Balloon Capacity — Standard inflation volume for secure bladder retention.
• 16-Inch Length — Designed for adult male use with standard anatomical reach.
• Two-Way Design — Enables both drainage and balloon inflation through separate lumens.

Who is 68402730-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter 30Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity for?

This catheter is intended for healthcare providers and patients managing postoperative urinary retention, acute urinary obstruction, or short-term incontinence management. It's particularly useful in hospital, long-term care, or home health environments where reliable, temporary catheterization is needed. Due to the latex base, it should be avoided in individuals with known latex allergies, though the silicone coating may reduce reactivity risk.

How does 68402730-Each Kendall Dover 2-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter 30Fr 16 5cc Balloon Capacity compare?

Compared to 100% silicone catheters, this coated latex version offers lower cost and greater kink resistance but carries a higher allergy risk. It provides better lubricity than standard latex catheters, reducing insertion trauma. Against hydrogel-coated alternatives, it may offer less long-term comfort but is typically more affordable and suitable for short-duration use. Its 30Fr size is larger than average, making it appropriate for specific clinical needs like post-surgical clots or obstructions, unlike smaller 14-18Fr catheters used routinely.
