Medline Silver Touch 2-Way Foley Catheter - 100% Silicone with Antimicrobial Silver Ion Protection (14 Fr, 5cc Balloon)

Advanced Antimicrobial Protection for Superior Patient Safety

The Medline Silver Touch 2-Way Foley Catheter represents a breakthrough in urinary catheterization technology, combining the biocompatibility of 100% medical-grade silicone with the powerful antimicrobial properties of ionic silver. This advanced catheter system is specifically engineered to reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), one of the most common healthcare-associated infections.

Patented Silver Ion Technology

Through a proprietary UV bonding process, pure ionic silver is permanently bonded to both the inner and outer surfaces of the catheter, creating a continuous antimicrobial barrier throughout the entire indwelling period. Unlike surface coatings that can wear away, this patented integration ensures consistent, long-lasting protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens including MRSA, VRE, E. coli, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and other common UTI-causing organisms.

Superior Patient Comfort and Safety

Constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone, this catheter is completely latex-free, eliminating the risk of latex allergies and sensitivities that can compromise patient safety and comfort. The catheter features a bonded lubricious hydrophilic coating that hydrates rapidly upon contact with bodily fluids, creating an ultra-smooth surface that significantly improves insertion ease and patient comfort throughout the catheterization period. As the coating remains hydrated, friction is minimized, reducing tissue trauma and enhancing overall patient tolerance.

Clinical-Grade Specifications

• Sterile and Ready to Use: Each catheter is individually packaged in sterile conditions, ensuring immediate clinical readiness and infection control compliance
• 100% Silicone Construction: Biocompatible, inert material that poses no risk of allergic reactions, suitable for patients with latex sensitivities
• Dual Antimicrobial Action: Ionic silver provides continuous protection against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal pathogens
• Hydrophilic Lubricious Coating: Rapidly hydrating surface technology that enhances patient comfort and reduces insertion trauma
• Color-Coded Design: Distinctive green color for easy identification and size verification in clinical settings
• HCPCS Code A4344: Facilitates streamlined billing and insurance reimbursement processes

Proven Antimicrobial Efficacy

Silver ions have been recognized for centuries for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. In modern medical applications, ionic silver demonstrates exceptional effectiveness against the most prevalent and dangerous urinary tract infection pathogens. The Silver Touch catheter harnesses this natural antimicrobial power through advanced bonding technology, providing healthcare facilities with a clinically proven tool to reduce CAUTI rates and improve patient outcomes while supporting infection prevention protocols.

Ideal Applications

This 2-way Foley catheter is designed for short-term and long-term urinary drainage in acute care, long-term care, home health, and surgical settings. The 14 French size with 5cc balloon capacity provides versatile clinical utility across a wide range of adult patient populations, while the antimicrobial protection makes it particularly valuable for immunocompromised patients or those at elevated risk for healthcare-associated infections.
