Description
The Foley Trac 2-Way Foley’s Balloon Catheter is a flexible, sterile urinary catheter designed for long-term bladder drainage. Constructed from high-quality medical-grade latex or silicone and coated with a biocompatible layer (typically silicone or hydrogel), this catheter is engineered for patient comfort and reduced risk of irritation or infection. Its two-way functionality includes one channel for urine drainage and a second for balloon inflation, allowing secure retention within the bladder during extended use.
This catheter features a soft, rounded tip to aid smooth insertion and side drainage eyes to ensure efficient urinary flow. The integrated balloon, typically inflated with sterile water once inside the bladder, anchors the catheter securely in place. Sizes vary depending on patient needs, with color-coded funnels for quick identification by healthcare professionals.
