ADVANTAGES

Unlike coated latex Foleys, Rochester Medical's all silicone catheters will not leach chemicals or water-soluble proteins that can irritate the urethral mucosa and may lead to stricture formation. Additionally, the non-stick silicone surface makes the catheter more resistant to encrustation.

Rochester Medical's patented silicone Foley design also incorporates special features to ensure optimal performance and enhance patient comfort.

• Smooth proportional eyelets for atraumatic insertion and maximum drainage
• A seamless balloon transition achieved through a patented process that forms the balloon as an integral part of the catheter shaft
• Reliable balloon performance ensured by testing every balloon TWICE during the manufacturing process
• Approximately 30% larger lumens than coated latex catheters of the same diameter size
  • improves drainage flow rates
  • permits longer use and promotes better drainage when blood clots or sediments are present
  • perhaps most importantly, allows for use of smaller diameter catheters for more comfort and less irritation

• Ribbed funnel ensures secure, leak-free connections
• Clear connector and shaft provide easy visualization of drainage
