1. Product Overview & Construction

The Bard 165822 Foley catheter is a two-way, all-silicone catheter featuring a 22 French (≈7.3 mm) lumen and a 5 cc retention balloon. It is latex-free, making it suitable for patients with latex sensitivities. Crafted from 100% silicone, this catheter offers exceptional biocompatibility, reducing risk of irritation or encrustation during both short- and long-term bladder drainage.

2. Functional Features & Design Benefits

Equipped with a short, rounded tip and two opposing drainage eyes, the Bardex catheter facilitates gentle insertion and efficient urine outflow. Silicone’s flexibility and kink-resistant nature support patient comfort and consistent drainage under various conditions. Additionally, the robust 5 cc balloon anchors securely within the bladder and resists premature deflation, providing reliable retention.

3. Clinical Use & Advantages

Designed for both short-term catheterization and extended use, this catheter is ideal in settings that require dependable urinary management, such as post-operative care or long-term indwelling needs. The all-silicone composition minimizes tissue irritation and encrustation risks, supporting improved patient comfort and reduced maintenance. Available sterile in cases of 12, it ensures availability and hygienic handling in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health environments.
