FAQs of Silicone Foley Catheter:
Q: How is the silicone Foley catheter inserted and used?
A: The silicone Foley catheter is pre-lubricated and features a rounded, atraumatic tip for gentle insertion through the urethra into the bladder. Once in place, the balloon is inflated with sterile water to keep the catheter secure. It then enables continuous urine drainage to a collection bag. Healthcare professionals should perform the procedure under sterile conditions.
Q: What balloon capacities are available for this catheter and how are they selected?
A: Balloon capacities are available in 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml, depending on catheter size. The selection is typically based on the patients age, anatomy, and medical need; pediatric patients may require smaller volumes, while adults can accommodate higher capacities for reliable securement.
Q: When should the silicone Foley catheter be replaced?
A: As a single-use, disposable device, the catheter should be replaced after the intended duration of urinary drainage, upon signs of blockage, infection, or as advised by medical guidelines. Follow your healthcare providers recommendations for replacement intervals to maintain safety.
Q: Where should the catheter be stored before use?
A: Store the catheter in its original peelable blister pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains sterility and the integrity of the catheter until it is needed for use.
Q: What are the benefits of using a medical-grade silicone, latex-free Foley catheter?
A: Medical-grade silicone is biocompatible, hypoallergenic, and suitable for patients sensitive to latex. It offers flexibility, reduces tissue irritation, and provides long-lasting performance. The latex-free design minimizes allergic reactions and ensures broader patient suitability.
Q: How does the x-ray opaque line assist during catheterization?
A: The integrated x-ray opaque line ensures the catheter is visible in radiographic imaging. This helps clinicians confirm correct placement and monitor the catheters position inside the urinary tract, increasing patient safety.
Q: Is the Foley catheter ready for immediate use upon opening the package?
A: Yes, the silicone Foley catheter is sterilized, pre-lubricated, and supplied in a peelable blister pack. It is intended for immediate single-patient use right after opening, ensuring convenience and minimizing contamination risks.
