Colour-coded for CH sizes, plus numerical size marking. Choice of rubber or plastic valves. Special 3-way catheters for irrigation and administration of medication. This is why all Foley catheters from Pharma-Plast have been designed to ensure that tips, materials, balloons and fluid channels provide the best possible performance and the highest degree of patient comfort. Not only does this improve smoothness and reduce trauma, but it allows maximum fluid flow without compromising the structural integrity of the catheter.
Silicone provides a high degree of biocompatibility and is high resistant to encrustation.
Pharma-Plast's Haematuria catheter has been reinforced to provide improved flow without changing inner and outer dimensions. This, in turn, reduces the risk of clogging due to the presence of blood and other debris following surgical procedures, e.g. prostatectomy. All balloons are inflated for a period of at least 20 minutes to ensure correct symmetry and material integrity. Moreover, each catheter is checked for smoothness to guard against any material imperfections that might cause discomfort or urethral trauma. Frequent spot checks ensure that proper Charriere size is maintained along the entire length of the catheter.
