Who is 570167L18-Each Lubricath 3-way Latex Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc for?
This catheter is intended for healthcare providers and patients managing urinary retention due to surgery, neurological conditions, or prostate issues. It is especially beneficial in post-operative urological care where bladder irrigation is required. Due to its latex content, it is not recommended for individuals with latex allergies. Appropriate for clinical settings or home care under medical supervision.
How does 570167L18-Each Lubricath 3-way Latex Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc compare?
Compared to standard polypropylene or silicone catheters, the Lubricath’s hydrogel coating offers smoother insertion and reduced urethral trauma. While latex carries allergy risks, it provides superior elasticity over silicone. The 30 cc balloon supports longer dwell times than smaller-capacity alternatives. Unlike two-way catheters, the three-lumen design allows for irrigation, making it more functional in surgical recovery than basic drainage catheters.
Best use cases

- →Urinary retention management
- →Bladder irrigation after surgery
- →Short-term catheterization
- →Neurogenic bladder care
Is Lubricath 3-way Latex Foley Catheter 18 Fr 30 Cc right for you?

How it compares: Compared to standard two-way catheters, this three-way design supports irrigation. Hydrogel coating offers better comfort than uncoated latex. More functional than basic drainage catheters but less suitable for latex-allergic patients than silicone options.
