Who is 57165808-Each Pediatric 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 8 Fr 3 Cc for?
This catheter is designed for healthcare providers and caregivers managing pediatric patients who require temporary urinary catheterization due to surgery, urinary retention, or neurogenic bladder conditions. It’s especially beneficial for children with sensitive urothelial tissues or known latex allergies. Its silicone construction supports shorter dwell times with reduced inflammatory response, making it a preferred option in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), pediatric wards, and home care environments where safety and comfort are critical.
How does 57165808-Each Pediatric 2-way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 8 Fr 3 Cc compare?
Compared to standard polyurethane or latex Foley catheters, this 100% silicone option offers better biocompatibility and reduced risk of encrustation and infection over short-term use. While silicone is less flexible than latex, it’s ideal for pediatric applications due to its inert nature. Unlike adult-sized catheters, the 8 Fr diameter and 3 cc balloon prevent overdistension in small bladders. It outperforms general-purpose catheters in sensitivity and safety for young patients, though it may cost slightly more than basic latex alternatives.
Best use cases
- →Post-surgical urinary drainage in children
- →Short-term management of urinary retention
