Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lubri-sil infection control Foley catheter?
▾
The Lubri-sil infection control Foley catheter is a sterile urinary catheter made from 100% silicone and coated with silver hydrogel to reduce bacterial colonization. It's designed for patients needing short-term bladder drainage with lower infection risk, especially in clinical or postoperative settings.
Does the 571758SI20-Each catheter contain latex?
▾
No, this catheter is made entirely from 100% silicone and is completely latex-free. It's a safe option for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities, reducing the risk of allergic reactions during use.
How does the silver hydrogel coating work?
▾
The silver hydrogel coating releases silver ions that inhibit bacterial adhesion and growth on the catheter surface. This helps reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections, especially during short-to-medium-term use in vulnerable patients.
Is the 20 Fr size suitable for all adults?
▾
The 20 Fr size is a common diameter for adult urinary drainage and works well for most patients needing standard flow rates. However, size selection should be based on clinical assessment, as smaller or larger diameters may be needed depending on urine viscosity or obstruction risk.
Can this catheter be used for long-term drainage?
▾
This catheter is designed for short-to-medium-term use, typically up to several days. While silicone is durable, prolonged indwelling increases infection risk. For long-term needs, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate catheter types and care protocols.
