Indicated Use:

Foley Catheters, also called indwelling catheters, are flexible tubes inserted into the bladder through the urethra to allow urine to drain. Models vary based on tip, material, length, and size. Foley catheters are commonly used for patients with urinary retention, neurological disorders, or recovering from surgery.

Urine catheters should only be used under medical supervision and with proper training in insertion and care. Improper use or care can lead to complications such as infection, bladder damage, or blockage.

AdvaCare Pharma produces Foley Catheters in ISO and CE-certified facilities situated in China, India, and the USA, ensuring their safety and dependability. Our incontinence products are made using premium materials and are customized to meet the demands of healthcare providers and patients worldwide. We adhere to stringent quality control protocols to guarantee that our indwelling catheters are reliable.

Material

Type

Catheter tip

Latex with Silicone Coated

Latex with Silicone Coated foley catheters are made of high-quality latex material with a silicone coating that provides an additional layer of protection for the patient's tissue. The latex material makes the catheter flexible and durable, while the silicone coating protects against potential allergic reactions to latex. These catheters are designed to be inserted into the bladder through the urethra and left in place to allow urine to drain. The silicone coating also helps to reduce friction during insertion and removal

100% Silicone

100% Silicone foley catheters are made of pure medical grade silicone material, making it a suitable choice for long-term use. The transparent design and radiopaque tip and line along the catheter shaft allow for easy visualization during insertion and monitoring. As a latex-free option, it is suitable for patients with latex allergies. The larger drainage lumen compared to traditional latex foley catheters may help to improve flow rates, drainage, and removal of blood clots.

2-way Indwelling

2-way Indwelling is a type of catheter that has two lumens: one for draining urine and another for inflating a small balloon at the end of the catheter. This balloon is used to hold the catheter in place within the urethra after it has been inserted. The catheter is typically made of latex or silicone, and is a flexible and durable medical device.

3-way Indwelling

3-way Indwelling foley catheter has 3 lumens or channels, 2 of which are similar to a 2-way foley catheter, and the third lumen is designed for bladder irrigation. The third lumen is used to pass a sterile solution through the tube to remove blood and blood clots from the bladder. 3-way foley catheters are typically recommended for post-surgery use or in the case of patients with a known tendency for blood clot formation.

Straight

Straight Foley catheter tip features a smooth surface with a cylindrical and solid tip that has two opposing drainage eyes. This catheter design ensures a gentle introduction and allows for efficient urine drainage. Available in 2-way and 3-way models, it is suitable for use in a range of medical procedures.

Tiemann Foley

Tiemann Foley catheter is a 2-way catheter with a 45-degree angled tip designed to facilitate insertion through the male urethra. It is also known as the Coude tip, which helps to navigate obstructions caused by conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia or urethral strictures. The catheter has a single smooth eye for optimal drainage and is designed for single-use. Made of radiopaque material, it can be easily visualized on x-rays to ensure proper positioning. The Tiemann foley catheter is an effective tool for managing urinary retention or incontinence in male patients with urethral obstructions.

Uses

How should Foley Catheters be used?

The use of foley catheters should be done only by trained medical professionals. The catheter must be inserted aseptically to reduce the risk of infection. Proper cleaning of the insertion site and the catheter itself should be done using sterile techniques and recommended solutions.

How should Foley Catheters be cleaned and disposed?

The catheter bag should be emptied regularly to prevent backflow of urine and to monitor the amount of urine being produced. After use, the catheter and bag should be disposed of properly, following medical waste management guidelines.

FAQs

How does a Foley Catheter work?

A foley catheter consists of two main parts: a hollow tube with drainage eyes and an inflatable balloon. The tube is inserted through the urethra into the bladder, while the balloon is inflated with sterile water once inside the bladder. The inflated balloon keeps the catheter in place, while the drainage eyes allow urine to flow into a collection bag.

How long can a Foley Catheter stay in place?

The duration a Foley catheter can stay in place varies depending on the patient's condition and the healthcare professional's recommendation. In some cases, it may be necessary to leave the catheter in place for an extended period, while in others, it may only be needed temporarily. Regular monitoring, catheter care, and scheduled catheter changes are essential to prevent complications such as infection or blockage.

How should Foley Catheters be cared for and maintained?

Keep the catheter and drainage system clean, following the healthcare professional's instructions. Maintaining a sterile and closed drainage system, regular cleaning of the catheter and surrounding area, and maintaining good hygiene practices when handling the catheter and collection bag are important aspects of catheter care.
