Disposable sterile Lubricating Silicone Foley Catheter with Hydrophilic Coating for Painless Insertion

Hydrophilic Lubricated Silicone Foley Catheters

Key Features

• Hydrophilic Self-Lubricating Coating: Activates on contact with water; no additional lubricating jelly required
• Reduced Urethral Trauma: Significantly lowers friction coefficient, minimizing micro-abrasions and epithelial damage during catheterization
• CAUTI Risk Reduction: Less mucosal disruption supports lower urinary tract infection incidence
• Durable Coating: Bonded coating resists wear and maintains lubrication throughout indwelling period
• Simplified Procedure: One-step insertion without separate lubricant preparation, saving clinical time

FAQ

Q: How does the hydrophilic coating work?

The hydrophilic coating absorbs water and transforms into a smooth, slippery surface. Simply wet the catheter with sterile water or saline before insertion, and it becomes self-lubricating. No additional lubricant jelly is needed.

Q: Does the coating wear off during indwelling?

The coating is securely bonded to the silicone substrate and maintains its properties for the duration of standard indwelling use.

Q: What is the clinical benefit of hydrophilic catheters over standard catheters?

Hydrophilic catheters significantly reduce insertion friction, which decreases urethral mucosal micro-trauma, improves patient comfort and is associated with reduced risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).

Q: Are these available in both 2-way and 3-way?

Yes, both 2-way drainage-only and 3-way irrigation-capable configurations are available across the full size range.
