key highlights
- Open Tip Design Facilitates Guidewire Catheterisation and Exchange:
Compatible with guidewires, the catheters enable precise placement and smooth exchanges, improving efficiency and reliability in challenging clinical scenarios. - Additional Drainage Eyelet for Improved Flow:
The open-ended tip provides for an additional drainage eyelet, helping to improve urine flow and reduce the risk of blockages, supporting effective and uninterrupted drainage. - Biocompatible Silicone for Patient Comfort:
Crafted from 100% silicone, the catheters are designed to minimise irritation and ensure comfort during long-term use. They are free from PVC, latex, phthalates, bisphenols, and PFAS. - Versatile Applications:
The catheters are suitable for transurethral urinary drainage and suprapubic catheter replacement (CH12-18). They are available in both pediatric and adult patient sizes. - Reliable Performance for Long-Term Use:
Designed for up to 90 days of indwelling use, the catheters ensure reliable performance for long-term urinary management. Each pack includes prefilled syringes (one with 10% aqueous glycerine solution and one empty) and peel-off patient labels with Ref-codes and lot information for traceability and documentation.
The open tip silicone Foley catheters retain all the trusted features of UNOQUIP silicone Foley catheters, such as a closely fitting balloon with excellent geometry, transparent material, self-closing valves, and universal funnel connectors.
