Latex urinary catheter with hydrophilic coating ultra‑smooth 2 way pediatric, 6–10 Fr, 3–5 mL

Product Overview

This ultra‑smooth 2‑way pediatric latex Foley catheter is specially engineered for children’s delicate urethral tissue. Constructed of medical‑grade natural latex and covered with advanced hydrophilic coating, the catheter surface turns extremely slippery once activated by sterile water. It greatly cuts insertion friction and minimizes mucosal trauma, bleeding and discomfort for young paediatric patients. The dual‑lumen design performs two functions: one lumen for urine drainage and the other for balloon inflation for secure bladder anchoring. The small 3‑5 mL retention balloon matches children’s bladder capacity to prevent over‑distension and irritation. Each unit is individually EO‑sterilized for single‑use application to avoid cross‑infection, widely used in paediatric wards, urology departments and post‑operative care.

Key Advantages

Hydrophilic ultra‑smooth coating: Creates long‑lasting lubrication after water activation. Less extra lubricant gel required, lowering pain and urethral injury risk during insertion and removal.

Paediatric‑optimized structure: Sizes from 6‑10Fr with rounded closed tip and large symmetric drainage eyes for smooth urine flow and anti‑blocking performance. The 3‑5 mL low‑volume balloon inflates evenly for stable positioning and prevents accidental dislodgement.

Flexible latex shaft: High elasticity, kink‑resistant to guarantee stable urine output. Color‑coded connectors allow fast size identification for clinical staff.

Sterile & export‑ready: Individually peeled sterile pouch for immediate use. Manufactured under ISO13485 standard, OEM & private label services available.

Material Comparison

Hydrophilic‑coated latex catheter: Good elasticity, cost‑effective. Hydrophilic layer improves lubricity. Risk of latex protein allergy. For short‑term indwelling.

Uncoated plain latex catheter: Lower cost. Extra lubricant gel is mandatory for insertion, higher friction and mucosal irritation.

100% silicone catheter: Minimal allergy risk, suitable for medium‑long‑term use. Relatively stiffer shaft with higher purchase cost.

Intended Use & Target Users

Intended use: Bladder urine drainage for paediatric patients; post‑surgery catheterization; temporary drainage for urinary retention. Target users: Infants and children of paediatric age; hospitals and clinical paediatric units. Contraindication: Not for patients with known latex allergy.
