What is 571768SI18-Each Lubri-sil Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc?

The 571768SI18-Each Lubri-sil Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc is a medical-grade urinary catheter engineered for safe, effective short-to-long-term bladder management. Constructed entirely from 100% silicone, this 18 French (Fr) catheter features a 30 cc balloon capacity and a two-way design for both urine drainage and balloon inflation. It is pre-lubricated with a silver hydrogel coating, a technology designed to inhibit bacterial adhesion and reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Each unit is sterile, single-use, and intended for clinical or home care settings where infection control and material biocompatibility are critical.

Who is 571768SI18-Each Lubri-sil Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc for?

This catheter is designed for patients requiring intermittent or continuous urinary drainage due to urinary retention, post-surgical recovery, or neurological conditions affecting bladder function. It is especially suited for individuals at higher risk of infections or those with sensitivities to latex or PVC, thanks to its 100% silicone construction. Healthcare providers, home care nurses, and trained caregivers may use it in clinical or residential environments.

How does 571768SI18-Each Lubri-sil Infection Control 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane or latex Foley catheters, this 100% silicone option offers greater biocompatibility and reduced risk of encrustation and irritation. The silver hydrogel coating differentiates it from uncoated models by actively supporting infection prevention. While more expensive than basic catheters, its design prioritizes patient safety and long-term comfort, making it a preferred choice in high-risk or extended-use scenarios over conventional materials.
