McKesson Silicone Coated Foley Catheter, Standard Tip, 5 cc By McKesson

About McKesson Foley Catheter Standard Tip 5cc

McKesson Two way Foley standard catheters help drain urine from the bladder and prevent waste from building up in the renal system, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections and kidney failure. Made from a hydrophobic material that rejects moisture, the silicone coating helps reduce urethral irritation, typically resistant to chemical attack and insensitive to temperature changes. The symmetrical, 5-cc balloon provides a tight seal at the neck of the urethra to prevent catheter from slipping out of the bladder when inflated with sterile water. Designed to improve ease of insertion, the firm catheter tip has a durable and flexible latex construction which helps improve application and patient comfort. A two-way flexible tube features two separated channels, or lumens, running down its length; (1) Open-ended lumen allows urine to drain into a collection bag, (2) lumen with outside valve and connects to balloon at the tip. Smooth beveled symmetrical eyes minimize tissue damage and aide in maximum drainage.
