Avacare Foley Catheter Silicone Coated FG16 – 05ml • 2-Way

Avacare’s FG16 silicone-coated 2-way Foley catheter (5 ml balloon) is designed for reliable indwelling urinary drainage in clinical and home-care settings. The silicone coating reduces friction for gentler insertion and wearer comfort while providing the strength and handling clinicians expect from a 16 French indwelling catheter.

Key Benefits

• 16 Fr size with a 5 ml retention balloon for secure placement in adult and select pediatric situations
• Silicone-coated surface lowers friction for smoother insertion and reduced urethral irritation
• Two-way design: separate drainage and inflation lumens for safe, straightforward use
• Sterile, single-use device packaged for clinical convenience and infection control
• Reliable balloon retention and secure urine drainage for short- to medium-term catheterisation

Ingredients and Materials

Constructed from medical-grade materials: a silicone-coated catheter shaft combined with a medical-grade retention balloon and flexible inflation/drainage lumens. Materials are chosen for biocompatibility and clinical performance. Packaged sterile for single use. (Refer to product label for full material declaration and regulatory details.)

How to Use

1. Only to be inserted by trained clinical personnel or under clinician instruction following local protocols.
2. Perform hand hygiene and use aseptic technique. Open sterile pack and apply recommended lubrication if required.
3. Insert catheter gently until urine flow is observed, then advance a further 1–2 cm and inflate the balloon with the specified 5 ml sterile water or saline to secure placement.
4. Attach drainage bag, secure catheter to the thigh, and monitor output and site for signs of leakage or irritation.
5. Deflate balloon completely before removal and follow facility removal protocols.

Always follow clinician instructions and institutional guidelines for catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal.

Who It’s For

Designed for patients requiring short- to medium-term indwelling urinary catheterisation: post-operative care, urinary retention management, perioperative monitoring, or where continuous bladder drainage is clinically indicated. Suitable for hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities and home health when used under professional guidance.
