The BARDEX 2-Way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter is a silicone catheter designed especially for long-term bladder drainage, used when a patient is unable to urinate on their own. This indwelling catheter has two channels. The first is a drainage port that allows the urine to drain continuously from the bladder into a collection bag. The second is a balloon inflation port that is used to inflate the small balloon at the tip of the catheter with sterile water after insertion. The inflated balloon anchors the catheter inside the bladder to prevent it from slipping out. The BARDEX 2-Way 100% Silicone Foley Catheter is latex-free, which is ideal for patients with latex allergies. It is also less irritating to sensitive tissues, making it more comfortable for long-term use.
