Foley Catheter

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Sterimed High Flow Foley Balloon Catheter, highlighting its features, specifications, and comparative advantages over other brands.

Key Features:

Designed to minimize trauma during catheterization and reduce tissue damage.
Offers longer in-dwelling time and trauma-free removal.
Minimizes encrustation and catheter blockage.
Prevents allergies from latex proteins.

Specifications:

Made from natural latex rubber with a silicon elastomer coating for a smooth surface.
High strength polymer layer ensures a wider inner diameter for high flow rates.
Available in two-way and three-way configurations with various sizes and balloon capacities.
Color-coded sizes for easy identification.

Packaging:

Sterile, individually packed in peelable pouches.
Available in boxes of 10 and master cartons of 100 or 600, depending on the flow type.

Unique Four Layer System:

Layer 1: Non-adherent silicon elastomer.
Layer 2: High strength polymer.
Layer 3: Low protein latex with antioxidants.
Layer 4: Protective silicon elastomer.

Health Data and Regulatory Profile:

A study by DOW CORNING, USA, showed a 54% reduction in the coefficient of friction with the elastomer coating, reducing tissue damage and trauma.
The coating remained functional for up to 29 days under urine exposure.
Consistently low friction ensures smooth removal.

Comparative Analysis:

Compared to uncoated catheters, the silicon elastomer-coated catheter maintains a lower coefficient of friction over time.
Performance measured as per BS EN 1616: 1997 standards, showing superior flow rates compared to other brands.

UROLOGY A Study was conducted by a research team of DOW CORNING, USA to check the efcacy of the elastomer coating on the STERIMED HIGH FLOW FOLEY BALLOON CATHETER, #OMPARISON OF mOW RATES OF STERIMED HIGH FLOW FOLEY BALLOON CATHETER VS Some leading brands in the market. which were compared to an uncoated catheter. The results indicated a 54% fall in coefcient of friction. Meaning, the possibility of tissue damage and trauma is reduced to half. Further, the study checked the longevity of the coating under exposure to urine for upto 29 days. The results indicated that the coating remained fully...
