1. Product Composition & General Features

This is a sterile, two‑way Foley catheter constructed from natural latex with a long-lasting hydrogel (hydrophilic polymer) coating. It features a short, rounded tip and two opposing drainage eyes, and is sized at 22 French, which corresponds to approximately 7.3 mm in external diameter. The catheter measures about 16 inches in length and includes a 30 cc retention balloon for secure positioning in the bladder.

2. Design & User Comfort

The hydrogel-coated surface absorbs fluid to form a temporary lubricious layer that creates a hydrophilic “cushion,” significantly easing insertion and withdrawal and minimizing urethral irritation. The short, smooth tip helps reduce trauma during placement, while the double-eye drainage ensures efficient urine flow and bladder decompression.

3. Clinical Applications & Benefits

The 0118L22 is typically used for short- to medium-term bladder drainage—such as post-operative care or urinary retention management—in adult patients. The combination of lubricious coating and anatomical tip design improves patient comfort and reduces the risk of mucosal injury. Packaged in sterile boxes of 12, it supports streamlined catheterization protocols across hospital, long‑term care, and home health environments.
