It is ideal for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health settings. Due to its latex content, it is not suitable for individuals with latex allergies.

Is Kendall KenGuard 2-Way Silicone Coated Latex Foley Catheter 22Fr 16 L, 5 cc Balloon Capacity right for you?
This catheter is best for medical professionals or caregivers managing short-term urinary retention in adults. It requires basic catheterization training.

Always verify size and balloon capacity with clinical guidelines. At $2.11, it's a cost-effective choice for routine use where latex is not contraindicated.
How it compares: Compared to uncoated latex catheters, this silicone-coated version offers smoother insertion and less irritation. It’s more affordable than fully silicone or antimicrobial catheters but not suitable for long-term use or latex-allergic patients. Stands out in comfort and value for short-duration applications.
