Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should a silicone-coated Foley catheter be replaced?
In clinical use, silicone-coated Foley catheters are typically indicated for up to 28–30 days, unless complications arise.
What is the difference between a silicone catheter and a latex catheter with silicone coating?
Latex catheters with silicone coating combine the flexibility of latex with the protective and inert surface of silicone, reducing irritation risk.
Is this catheter suitable for patients with latex allergy?
No. Despite the coating, the internal material is latex. For latex-sensitive patients, 100% silicone catheters are recommended.
How do I choose the correct catheter size?
Size selection depends on the patient’s condition and anatomy. A healthcare professional should determine the appropriate size.
What is the proper procedure for insertion and removal?
Insertion and removal should always be performed by trained medical staff, using sterile techniques and appropriate lubricants.
