Bard 0168SI16 - Infection Control catheter 2-Way Latex Foley Catheter 16 Fr 5 Cc, BX 12

The Bard Bardex I.C. Infection Control Foley Catheter is designed to help reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections for patients managing long-term or short-term catheterization at home. This 2-way latex Foley catheter features a specialized coude tip, making it easier to navigate through the male urethra, especially when a stricture or narrowing is present. The gentle curved tip design helps minimize discomfort during insertion and reduces the risk of urethral trauma. With a 16 French size and 5 cc balloon capacity, this catheter provides secure, reliable placement for everyday bladder drainage needs. What sets the Bardex I.C. apart is its advanced infection control technology, combining a BACTI-GUARD silver alloy coating with a smooth Bard hydrogel layer. This dual-action formulation works to reduce bacterial adherence on the catheter surface and minimize biofilm formation, helping to lower the risk of urinary tract infections during catheterization. The hydrogel coating also provides gentle lubrication, reducing friction and irritation during insertion and removal for greater comfort. Each box contains 12 sterile catheters, ensuring you have a fresh, hygienic catheter ready when needed. The Bard Bardex I.C. catheter is a trusted choice for home care patients and caregivers seeking an infection control solution that balances clinical effectiveness with everyday ease of use.
