Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The LUBRI-SIL® I.C. Antimicrobial-Coated Silicone Foley Catheter is designed for patients with latex sensitivity, offering a silicone formulation to reduce irritation and enhance comfort.

Key Features:

Advanced Construction: Features include exceptional balloon strength to prevent rupture, large drainage eyes to reduce clogging, a precisely molded tip to minimize irritation, and a non-metal valve for safe MRI use.
Proprietary Shaft Design: Prevents collapse during aspiration and allows visualization of clots, mucous, and urine flow.

Antimicrobial Properties:

Bacti-Guard® Silver Alloy Coating: Utilizes the same coating as the BARDEX® I.C. Anti-Infective Foley Catheter, forming a protective barrier that reduces adherence of UTI pathogens.
BARD® Hydrogel Coating: Provides a cushion to reduce friction and irritation, facilitating the sustained release of silver ions.

Material Composition:

Silver: Offers anti-infective properties and is chemically anchored for longevity.
Gold and Palladium: Stabilize the silver surface and mediate the release of silver ions.

Usage Instructions: Users are advised to consult the product label and insert for indications, contraindications, hazards, warnings, cautions, and directions for use.
