Bard 0168L20 - 2 Way, Hydrogel Coated Latex Foley Cath, 5cc Balloon Coude, Sterile, 20 Fr, BX 12

The Bard Bardex Lubricath Foley Catheter with hydrogel coating offers smoother insertion and enhanced comfort for individuals managing urinary retention at home. This 20 French, two-way indwelling catheter is designed with a coude tip, also known as the Carson model, which gently curves to help navigate the male urethra, particularly when an enlarged prostate or urethral stricture is present. The coude design is also useful in negotiating the bladder neck in female patients, allowing for easier insertion and reduced irritation. Each sterile catheter features a specialized hydrogel coating that absorbs fluid during use, creating a soft, hydrophilic cushion between the catheter surface and the urethra. This unique coating provides a more comfortable experience during insertion and maintains its integrity throughout wear, resulting in less trauma upon removal. The 5cc balloon helps secure the catheter in place once inserted, minimizing movement and leakage. Made from latex and packaged in a box of 12, the Bard 0168L20 is a trusted choice for caregivers and patients seeking a reliable catheter that prioritizes comfort during daily care routines. The Bardex Lubricath line is designed for single use to maintain sterility and reduce the risk of infection, giving you peace of mind when managing bladder drainage at home.
