About Haematuria Foley Catheter
Hematuria Foley Catheters . Used for Post TURP hemostasis. The shaft of the catheter is reinforced with a wound nylon coil that offers significant resistance to collapse under the vacuum of irrigation. The additional strength of the coils assures users that any blockage can be cleared by irrigation.Triple-Way Functionality for Enhanced Urological CareThis Haematuria Foley Catheter is equipped with three separate channels: one for urine drainage, one for irrigation, and one for balloon inflation. The open tip design and balloon capacity of 30-50 ml make it ideal for managing blood clots and maintaining continuous irrigation, thus improving patient outcomes in hospital settings.
Designed for Safety and Ease of UseEvery catheter is individually packed, sterile, and pre-lubricated for seamless insertion, reducing the risk of trauma. The color-coded connector enables quick size identification, while the radiopaque line assists in precise catheter positioning under X-ray. A latex-free version is also available for patients with sensitivities.
Durability and Convenient StorageConstructed with biocompatible materials and advanced latex coating, this disposable catheter ensures comfort, reliability, and a high degree of safety for single use. With a shelf life of five years, it should be kept in a cool, dry place protected from sunlight to preserve its integrity.
FAQ's of Haematuria Foley Catheter:
Q: How is a Haematuria Foley Catheter with balloon capacity 30-50 ml used in clinical practice?
A: This catheter is primarily utilized for managing gross haematuria and the retention of blood clots in the urinary bladder through continuous irrigation and drainage. The three-way design allows simultaneous drainage, irrigation to flush out debris, and balloon inflation to maintain catheter placement.
Q: What makes the triple-way Haematuria Foley Catheter advantageous for hospital use?
A: Its three channels allow healthcare professionals to irrigate the bladder, drain urine and clots, and keep the catheter securely in place, all with one device. This multi-functionality enhances efficiency and reduces the need for multiple insertions.
Q: When should a latex-free Haematuria Foley Catheter be selected?
A: A latex-free option should be chosen for patients with known latex allergies or sensitivities. It delivers the same performance as the standard version while minimizing allergic reactions.
Q: Where can the Haematuria Foley Catheter be stored, and what are its shelf life considerations?
A: These catheters should be stored in a cool, dry setting away from direct sunlight to maintain sterility and material integrity. Each catheter has a shelf life of five years when stored properly.
Q: What is the process of identifying the appropriate catheter size for a patient?
A: Size selection is facilitated by the color-coded connector, with common sizes ranging from 16 Fr to 24 Fr. The clinician will determine the most suitable size based on the patient's anatomy and indications for use.
Q: How does the catheter's design improve patient comfort and clinical outcomes?
A: The pre-lubricated, smooth-surfaced, and atraumatic design allows easy insertion, reduces trauma, and ensures effective irrigation and drainage, which are crucial for patient recovery in cases of gross haematuria.
Q: What are the benefits of the radiopaque line in this catheter?
A: A radiopaque line enables accurate visualization and positioning of the catheter on X-ray images, which helps in correct placement and reduces complications during clinical procedures.
