Two-Way Silicone Foley Catheter
A two-way indwelling urethral catheter manufactured from medical grade silicone for urinary bladder drainage.
What This Product Is
A two-way indwelling urethral catheter manufactured from medical grade silicone for urinary bladder drainage. Integrated with an X-ray line along the entire tube and distal tip, the device includes a guidewire to balance flexibility and rigidity during placement. Designed for indwelling duration of up to 28 days, it is supplied sterile via ethylene oxide gas across sizes 12Fr to 26Fr.
- Type: Two-way Foley catheter
- Material: Medical grade silicone
- French sizes: 12Fr / 14Fr / 16Fr / 18Fr / 20Fr / 22Fr / 24Fr / 26Fr
- Length: 400 mm
Why Buyers Pick This Reference
- Medical grade silicone construction provides a 100% latex-free fluid pathway suitable for sensitised patients
- Integrated guidewire balances catheter flexibility and structural rigidity to aid controlled insertion through the urethra
- Radiopaque line running along the entire shaft and distal tip enables X-ray verification under fluoroscopy
- Colour-coded inflation valves allow ward staff to rapidly identify French sizes from 12Fr to 26Fr
- Rated for indwelling placement up to 28 days, reducing catheter replacement frequency for catheterised patients

- Constructed entirely from medical grade silicone to maintain lumen patency and eliminate latex exposure
- Embedded radiopaque compound forms the continuous X-ray detection line through the tube and tip
Buyers This Product Was Built For
- Medical device distributors sourcing latex-free two-way indwelling urinary drainage catheters for hospital supply
- OEM brand owners requiring custom packaging and catalogue numbering for urology device product lines
- Hospital purchasing organisations tendering for sterile silicone Foley catheters with integrated X-ray lines
- Importers needing CE, FDA and ISO approved single-use urological consumables from China
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Catheter buckling during difficult insertions is mitigated by the integrated guidewire providing necessary shaft rigidity
- Latex protein allergies in long-term patients are avoided by utilising inert medical grade silicone
- Uncertain tip positioning is resolved through the continuous X-ray detective line running to the tip
- Size confusion during clinical selection is prevented by standard international colour-coded inflation valves
Where It Is Used
Urinary retention management requiring closed continuous bladder drainage for up to 28 days
Urological procedures requiring radiopaque tracking to confirm distal tip placement inside the bladder
Patients with documented natural rubber latex allergies requiring a fully inert silicone indwelling catheter
Difficult urethral catheterisation where a guidewire is required to provide insertion rigidity
How It Is Made
- Medical grade silicone is extruded and moulded into two-lumen shafts with integrated radiopaque lines
- Guidewire is inserted and retention balloon is bonded securely to the catheter shaft
- Colour-coded inflation ports and drainage funnels are assembled to match French size specifications
- Catheters undergo packaging, sealing and ethylene oxide gas sterilisation under controlled conditions
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- Balloon retention capacity and seal integrity are tested across rated 5-15 ml and 30 ml volumes
- Radiopaque line continuity is inspected to verify visibility across the full shaft and distal tip
- Sterilisation verification is completed using validated ethylene oxide processing records
- Partner manufacturing facilities hold active CE, FDA and ISO quality system approvals
What Can Be Changed For Your Brand
- Private-label packaging, custom sterile pouch artwork and specific distributor catalogue numbering
- Selection of individual French sizes and balloon volumes to match regional tender requirements
- Custom outer shipping cartons and barcoded labelling configured to your import guidelines
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Latex Foley Catheter | Silicone avoids latex sensitisation and supports 28-day indwelling, whereas latex is limited to shorter durations and risks allergic reactions |
|---|---|
| Three-Way Silicone Foley Catheter | Two-way catheters provide routine drainage at lower cost, but lack the third irrigation lumen required for continuous bladder irrigation |
| Standard Silicone Catheter without Guidewire | Catheters with guidewires provide extra shaft support during insertion, whereas guidewire-free versions may buckle in difficult anatomies |
How It Is Used
- Select the required French size and balloon volume based on patient requirements and colour-coded valve
- Inspect the sterile peel pouch for package integrity prior to opening under aseptic technique
- Advance the catheter with guidewire through the urethra until urine flow confirms bladder entry
- Inflate the retention balloon with sterile water according to the specified balloon capacity
- Ensure continuous drainage into a collection bag, not exceeding the maximum 28 days suggested duration
Two-Way Silicone Foley Catheter Buyer Questions
What French sizes and balloon volumes are available?
Sizes range from 12Fr to 26Fr with a standard 400 mm length. Balloon volumes are 5-15 ml for sizes 12Fr to 16Fr, and 30 ml for sizes 16Fr to 26Fr.
How is the catheter sterilised?
Each device is sterilised using ethylene oxide (EO gas) and sealed in an individual sterile package.
What is the recommended indwelling duration in the human body?
The suggested maximum duration for continuous indwelling placement in the human body is 28 days.
Can the catheter tip be visualised under X-ray?
Yes. An X-ray detective line is integrated throughout the entire tube and distal tip for radiographic confirmation.
What regulatory certifications do your partner factories hold?
All manufacturers invested in by Nineluck hold CE, FDA and ISO approvals to support customs clearance and compliance.
Can you supply this product under OEM private labelling?
Yes. We accept customer OEM and ODM design work, including custom pouch artwork, carton specifications and catalogue numbers.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
MOQ and lead time are TBC. Contact our export team with your target French sizes and balloon volumes to confirm specifications.
