Hydrophilic Coated Latex Foley Catheter – 14-Day Indwelling
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 |
