Medline 3-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter - 16 Fr, 30ml Balloon - Continuous Irrigation System

Professional-Grade 3-Way Foley Catheter with Continuous Irrigation Capabilities

The Medline 3-Way Silicone-Elastomer Coated Latex Foley Catheter represents the gold standard in post-surgical urinary care, specifically engineered for patients requiring continuous bladder irrigation following bladder surgery, prostate procedures, or other urological interventions. This advanced catheterization system combines superior patient comfort with clinical versatility, making it an essential tool for healthcare facilities and home care settings.

Advanced Triple-Lumen Design for Enhanced Clinical Outcomes

Unlike traditional two-way catheters, this innovative 3-way configuration features three distinct channels that work in harmony: one lumen for urine drainage, a second for balloon inflation to secure catheter placement, and a third dedicated irrigation port for continuous fluid introduction. This sophisticated design enables healthcare providers to maintain optimal bladder health by continuously flushing the bladder with sterile solutions, preventing clot formation, removing debris, and reducing the risk of infection during the critical post-operative recovery period.

Premium Silicone-Elastomer Coating for Superior Comfort

Engineered with a specialized silicone-elastomer coating over a durable latex core, this catheter delivers exceptional biocompatibility and reduced tissue irritation during extended wear periods. The smooth, friction-reducing surface facilitates easier insertion while minimizing urethral trauma, making it ideal for patients who require catheterization for several days or weeks. The coating also helps prevent encrustation and bacterial adhesion, contributing to better patient outcomes and reduced complications.

Key Clinical Features and Specifications

• 16 French Gauge: Optimal diameter for effective drainage while maintaining patient comfort during continuous irrigation therapy
• 30ml Balloon Capacity: Large-volume balloon ensures secure, stable positioning within the bladder, preventing accidental displacement during patient movement or irrigation procedures
• Standard Tip Design: Universal tip configuration compatible with standard insertion techniques and protocols
• Sterile Packaging: Each catheter arrives individually packaged and sterilized, ready for immediate clinical use with complete confidence in infection control
• Flexible Irrigation Options: When continuous irrigation is discontinued, the irrigation lumen can be sealed with a standard catheter plug, allowing the device to function as a conventional two-way catheter
• Medication Delivery Capability: The irrigation port enables controlled introduction of medications, antibiotics, or therapeutic solutions directly into the bladder for targeted treatment

Clinical Applications and Indications

This versatile catheter system is specifically indicated for patients undergoing or recovering from transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), bladder tumor resection, bladder neck surgery, and other urological procedures where continuous bladder irrigation is medically necessary. The continuous flow capability helps maintain clear urine output, prevents clot retention, and supports faster healing by keeping the surgical site clean and free from debris.
