Who is 5733424-Each Silastic 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 24 Fr 30 Cc for?
This catheter is intended for healthcare professionals and caregivers managing patients with urinary retention, post-surgical voiding dysfunction, or acute bladder obstruction. It suits adult patients needing short-term catheterization in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home health environments.

How does 5733424-Each Silastic 2-way Latex Foley Catheter 24 Fr 30 Cc compare?
Compared to standard polypropylene or pure silicone catheters, this Silastic latex model offers a balance of flexibility and durability. It is more pliable than rigid plastic catheters, reducing patient discomfort, while the Silastic coating enhances biocompatibility over uncoated latex. Unlike 100% silicone catheters, it may carry a slightly higher allergy risk but typically offers easier insertion due to its softness. It performs similarly to other 24 Fr 2-way catheters but stands out in its material blend, offering a cost-effective middle ground between latex and silicone options.
