Hydrophilic Coated Latex Foley Catheter – 14-Day Indwelling

Our Hydrophilic Latex Catheter is a high-quality, disposable medical device designed for safe, comfortable, and effective urinary management for both male and female patients. Crafted from medical-grade natural latex, it combines flexibility, durability, and biocompatibility, making it suitable for long-term urethral catheterization of up to 14 days.

Key Features

Hydrophilic Coating with Water-Activated Lubrication

This catheter features a hydrophilic coating that becomes ultra-smooth upon contact with sterile water, significantly reducing friction during insertion and removal (COF < 0.02) to minimize urethral trauma and enhance patient comfort. The coating is non-cytotoxic and free from hypersensitivity reactions, ensuring safety. With high mechanical strength and long-lasting lubricity, it remains effective for over 14 days, making it suitable for extended indwelling use. Its durable design also helps reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, offering a safer and more reliable solution.

Comparison Between Hydrophilic-Coated and Non-Coated Catheters

Comparison Criteria	Hydrophilic-Coated Catheter	Non-Coated Catheter
Lubrication	Remains lubricated after activation with sterile water	Requires external lubricant, which may be uneven and prone to drop off
Friction	Low friction coefficient, reducing insertion resistance	High friction coefficient, increasing risk of urethral injury
Risk of UTI	Hypoallergenic material reduces infection risk	Higher risk of urethral injury and infection
Ease of Use	Convenient and simple to operate	Requires manual lubrication, longer operation time
Patient Comfort	Low pain during insertion/removal, better tolerance	May cause pain and urethral injury

14-Day Indwelling Capability

Engineered for continuous urinary drainage, the catheter is safe for up to 14 days of indwelling use, making it ideal for both inpatient care and extended home healthcare.

Medical-Grade Latex Construction

Offers optimal flexibility and resilience while maintaining excellent biocompatibility.

Foley Catheter Options

Available in two-way and three-way designs, with optional water sachet type for easy activation. The normal type does not include a water sachet.

Sterile Paper-Plastic Packaging
