The C.R. Bard 0102SI24 is a Foley Catheter designed for indwelling urinary use. This 2-Way, Specialty, Tiemann Model catheter is made from Red Latex and features a Medium Olive Coude Tip and a Single Eye. The catheter is 24FR in size and has a 5cc balloon. This product is designed to stay in the bladder for an extended period, making it ideal for patients who are unable to drain urine on their own.
One of the key features of this catheter is its Bardex I.C. anti-infective coating. This technologically-advanced formulation consists of Bactiguard* silver alloy coating and BD hydrogel, which dramatically reduces bacterial adherence and minimizes biofilm formation. This helps to reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
The Bardex I.C. Foley catheter is available in multiple sizes ranging from 12-30 Fr and comes in different tip configurations including Coude and straight. Studies have shown that the occurrence of urinary tract infection is 3.7 times greater in patients catheterized with a standard catheter than in patients catheterized with the Bardex I.C. Foley catheter with Bactiguard silver alloy coating and BD hydrogel.
This product comes in a case of 12 units.
