The C.R. Bard 0102SI20 is a Foley Catheter designed for those who need assistance in draining urine from the bladder. This 2-Way, Specialty, Tiemann Model catheter is made from Red Latex and features a Medium Olive Coude Tip and a Single Eye. It is 20FR in size and has a 5cc balloon. The catheter is designed to stay in the bladder for an extended period, unlike intermittent catheters that are inserted and removed several times a day.
One of the key features of this Foley catheter is its anti-infective coating. This Bardex I.C. Foley Catheter is clinically proven to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections. It incorporates a technologically-advanced formulation consisting of Bactiguard* silver alloy coating and BD hydrogel. This combination dramatically reduces bacterial adherence and minimizes biofilm formation, thereby reducing the risk of infections.
The catheter comes in multiple sizes ranging from 12-30 Fr. and is available in different tip configurations including Coude and straight. It is worth noting 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 is packaged as 12 per case.
