This disposable EO‑sterilized latex Foley urinary catheter comes with 40 cm total length, sizes from 12 Fr to 30 Fr, with 5‑10 ml and 30 ml balloon options. As an economical indwelling urethral catheter, it is widely adopted in hospitals, operating rooms, emergency departments and nursing facilities for short‑term bladder urine drainage. Constructed from natural rubber latex with optional silicone‑coated surface, the flexible tube resists kinking. Smooth rounded tip and large drainage eyelets guarantee efficient urine outflow. Each unit is individually sterile packed for immediate clinical use.
Excellent flexibility: Natural latex offers high elasticity, fits urethral anatomy and reduces mechanical trauma during insertion.
Complete size range: 12‑30 Fr outer diameter, 5‑10 ml / 30 ml balloon choices, 40 cm standard adult length for various adult patients.
Reliable balloon performance: Well‑balanced balloon with good resilience secures catheter in bladder; non‑return valve prevents accidental balloon deflation and displacement.
Cost‑effective solution: Lower unit cost compared with full‑silicone catheters, ideal for bulk procurement for short‑term indwelling scenarios. EO‑sterile, non‑pyrogenic.
Color‑coded identification: Each French size matches dedicated color mark for fast size recognition and minimizes clinical mistakes.

Uncoated natural latex: Best elasticity with competitive price. Risk of latex‑protein allergy. Recommended dwell time ≤7 days. Contraindicated for latex‑sensitive patients.
Silicone‑coated latex: Latex substrate covered by thin silicone layer to lower mucosal irritation and allergy possibility. Suitable for short‑to‑medium‑term use. Silicone layer may degrade under long‑time urine exposure; dwell time should not exceed 14 days.
100% pure silicone: Latex‑free, minimal encrustation for long‑term indwelling. Safe for latex‑allergic users, but higher price and less elasticity than latex.

Application: Bladder urine drainage, post‑operative urinary management, urology irrigation, urinary retention relief. Target users: Adult patients without latex allergy, including bed‑ridden post‑surgery patients, urinary‑retention patients, patients with consciousness disorder requiring short‑term indwelling catheter. Contraindication: Do NOT use for patients with confirmed latex allergy.
Q1: What is maximum dwell time for latex urinary catheter? A: Recommended indwelling period is within 7 days, maximum 14 days. Regular replacement helps reduce encrustation and urinary tract infection risk. Q2: What fluid shall be used for balloon inflation? A: Use sterile distilled water only. Do not use saline solution or air. Q3: Can this catheter be applied to latex‑allergic patients? A: No. 100% silicone urinary catheter is required for latex‑sensitive patients.
