Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a silicone-coated latex catheter and a 100% silicone catheter?
The silicone-coated latex catheter combines the flexibility of latex with a silicone coating that improves tolerance and facilitates insertion. It is suitable for catheterization periods of 1 to 3 weeks, whereas 100% silicone catheters are generally preferred for long-term catheterization.
What should be used to inflate the balloon of the Foley catheter?
The balloon must be inflated exclusively with sterile water or saline solution, never with air. Use a needle-free syringe connected to the valve provided for this purpose. The recommended volume is between 5 and 15 ml depending on the indication.
How to choose the right size for a urinary catheter?
The choice of size depends on the patient's urethral diameter and clinical indication. Sizes CH 12 to CH 14 are generally suitable for women, while CH 16 to CH 20 are more often used in men. The medical prescription guides this choice.
