Product type
A Foley catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. It is typically made from latex, silicone, or a combination of materials that ensure biocompatibility and reduce the risk of infection. The catheter is equipped with a balloon that is inflated once the catheter is in place, helping to keep it securely in the bladder.

| Balloon size | 5 to 30 mL |
| Catheter sizes | 8 Fr to 24 Fr |
| Length | 30 cm to 45 cm |
| Sterility | Sterile, single-use |
When selecting a Foley catheter, consider the size (French gauge) that is appropriate for the patient, as well as the material to minimize allergic reactions. Specify the balloon size based on the intended use and duration of catheterization. It is also important to confirm the sterility of the product and any specific certifications required for medical devices in your region.
