Description

Avacare Foley Catheter 2-way 100% Silicone FG14 — 30 ml (1 Unit)

The Avacare 2-way Foley Catheter FG14 is a sterile, medical-grade silicone indwelling urinary catheter with a 30 ml balloon. Designed for reliable urinary drainage in hospital and home-care settings, this FG14 silicone catheter offers biocompatibility, flexibility and long-term comfort for adult catheterization needs.

Key Benefits

• 100% medical-grade silicone: biocompatible and latex-free to reduce irritation and allergic reactions.
• 2-way design (drainage + inflation): straightforward insertion and secure anchoring with a 30 ml balloon for reliable retention.
• FG14 size: appropriate for many adult catheterization requirements where a moderate bore is preferred.
• Sterile single-unit packaging: ready for immediate clinical use and reduces contamination risk.
• Flexible and soft construction: improved patient comfort during short- or long-term indwelling use.

Ingredients and Materials

This Foley catheter is manufactured from 100% medical-grade silicone — a biocompatible, latex-free material commonly used for indwelling catheters. The two-way lumen includes a drainage channel and a separate inflation channel for the 30 ml balloon. Components are produced to meet medical device quality standards for sterility and patient safety.

How to Use

Intended for use by trained healthcare professionals or caregivers following local clinical protocols. Typical steps (summary):

1. Verify physician order, inspect sterile packaging and check expiration.
2. Perform hand hygiene and prepare a sterile field; use sterile gloves and aseptic technique.
3. Lubricate catheter tip, gently insert until urine return is observed, then advance slightly.
4. Inflate the balloon with sterile water up to the recommended volume (30 ml) to secure placement; do not use saline for inflation unless directed by clinician.
5. Attach drainage bag, secure catheter, and document insertion per facility protocol.

Follow manufacturer guidance and institutional policies for removal, maintenance, and routine care to minimize catheter-associated complications.

Who It’s For

Suitable for adults requiring indwelling urinary catheterization, including:

• Post-operative urinary drainage
• Patients needing short- or long-term bladder management
• Hospital, surgical, and home-care settings under clinician supervision
• Patients with latex sensitivity seeking a latex-free catheter option

Caution & Storage

Caution:

• For single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize.
• Use only by trained healthcare personnel following sterile technique. Improper insertion can cause trauma, bleeding, or infection.
• Inflate the balloon only with sterile water and to the volume recommended by the clinician (up to 30 ml). Overinflation may cause urethral trauma.
• Monitor for signs of infection, leakage, blockage, or patient discomfort; report complications to a clinician immediately.
• Not suitable for patients with known silicone hypersensitivity.

Storage:

• Store in original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
