2 Way Silicone Coated Catheter Latex Male External Foly Catheter With size fr 6 - fr 26

1. 2 Way Foley Catheter:
- Purpose: A Foley catheter is a flexible tube that is inserted into the urinary bladder through the urethra to drain urine. A 2-way Foley catheter typically has two lumens or channels.
- Functions:
- One lumen is for urinary drainage, allowing the continuous flow of urine from the bladder to a collection bag.
- The other lumen is for inflation and deflation of the balloon, which holds the catheter in place within the bladder.

2. Silicone Coated:
- Coating Material: The catheter is coated with silicone. Silicone coating provides a smooth surface, reducing friction during insertion and enhancing patient comfort. It may also reduce the risk of irritation.

3. Latex Material:
- Latex Construction: The catheter is made of latex. Latex is a common material for Foley catheters due to its flexibility and biocompatibility. However, individuals with latex allergies may need alternatives, such as latex-free catheters.

4. Male External Foley Catheter:
- Design: This type of catheter is designed for external use on male patients. It is applied externally to the penis and does not require insertion into the urethra.

5. Size Range (fr 6 - fr 26):
- French Size (Fr): The catheter is available in various sizes, ranging from French size 6 (Fr 6) to French size 26 (Fr 26). The French size indicates the diameter of the catheter. The appropriate size is chosen based on the patient's anatomy and specific medical needs.

6. Application:
- Urinary Catheterization: The catheter is used for urinary catheterization, a medical procedure to drain urine from the bladder. Foley catheters are often used for both short-term and long-term catheterization.
