1.Product Description
A 2-Way Silicone Foley Catheter is a medical device used for

drainage and one for balloon inflation to hold the catheter in
place.
- Balloon: Includes a balloon at the tip that can be inflated with
sterile water to anchor the catheter in the bladder.
- Radiopaque Line: Often equipped with a radiopaque line for easy
visualization under X-ray during placement.
- Multiple Eyelets: Contains multiple drainage eyelets near the tip
to ensure efficient urine drainage.
- Sterile Packaging: Individually packaged in a sterile manner to
prevent infections during insertion.

4.Application
- Urinary Retention: Patients experiencing urinary retention due to
conditions such as enlarged prostate, neurological disorders, or
postoperative effects may require a 2-Way Silicone Foley Catheter
for continuous bladder drainage.
- Postoperative Care: Following urological surgeries like
prostatectomy, bladder surgery, or gynecological procedures, a
2-Way Foley Catheter is often utilized to facilitate bladder
drainage during the postoperative recovery period.
- Critical Care Units: In intensive care units (ICUs) and critical
care settings, patients who are unable to urinate on their own due
to medical conditions or sedation may require a 2-Way Silicone
Foley Catheter for continuous urinary drainage.
- Chronic Conditions: Individuals with chronic urinary retention,
spinal cord injuries, or other conditions that affect bladder
function may rely on a 2-Way Foley Catheter for long-term
management of their urinary needs.
- Incontinence Management: For patients with severe urinary
incontinence or neurogenic bladder dysfunction, a 2-Way Silicone
Foley Catheter can assist in managing urine flow and reducing the
risk of accidents.
- Medical Procedures: During certain medical treatments or diagnostic
procedures where accurate measurement of urine output is necessary,
a Foley catheter can be temporarily inserted for monitoring
purposes.
- Home Healthcare: In cases where patients require long-term bladder
drainage at home, healthcare providers may use a 2-Way Silicone
Foley Catheter to facilitate urinary drainage and manage bladder
function.
- Rehabilitation Facilities: Patients undergoing rehabilitation
following spinal cord injuries, strokes, or other conditions that
affect bladder control may require the use of a Foley catheter as
part of their care plan.
5.Advantages
- Comfort: The soft silicone material reduces discomfort and
irritation compared to latex catheters.
- Flexibility: Offers flexibility for easy insertion and reduced risk
of urethral trauma.
- Biocompatibility: Silicone is biocompatible and less likely to
cause allergic reactions in patients.
- Long-Term Use: Suitable for long-term catheterization due to its
durability and biocompatibility.
- Reduced Encrustation: Silicone catheters are less prone to
encrustation and blockages compared to other materials.
1.What is a 2 way Foley catheter used for?
They have double lumens, or separate channels, running down it
lengthwise = two-way catheters. They are used in case of urinary
incontinence (e.g., following a urological surgery procedure), or
to void for non-ambulatory patients.
2.What is the difference between a 2 way and 3-way Foley?
What is a Catheter? | Helpful Advice | myflexicare.com
Foley catheters may be 2-way
or 3-way. A 2-way catheter has two lumens – one to drain fluid (in
this case urine) and one to inject fluid or medication (in this
case water into the balloon). There are also 3-way urinary
catheters which have a third lumen to flush water into the bladder.
3.What are the disadvantages of silicone catheters?
Disadvantages of Silicone Catheters
Silicone Foley catheters have also been known to cause “cuffing” to
the balloon, which can increase the difficulty of removal. There
are many urologic conditions that may require you to use
catheterization either temporarily or for longer periods of time
