Description

​

The ​​C. R. Bard 3 Way Foley Catheter is a specialized urinary catheter designed for clinical drainage, irrigation, and pressure hemostasis. C. R. Bard 3 Way Foley Catheter features a unique hydrophilic coating that provides persistent lubrication, eliminating the need for additional lubricants during insertion. The triple-lumen design of C. R. Bard 3 Way Foley Catheter supports simultaneous irrigation and drainage, making it suitable for complex urological procedures.

1. ​​Exceptional Hydrophilic Coating​​
   • Offers a smooth, "loach-like" surface for minimal friction during insertion, reducing patient discomfort and urethral irritation.
   • The coating remains stable and does not peel off easily, ensuring consistent lubrication throughout the procedure.
2. ​​Biocompatibility and Safety​​
   • The material resists salt deposition (e.g., calcium phosphate), reducing the risk of encrustation during indwelling use.
   • Excellent tissue compatibility lowers the incidence of urethral infections.
3. ​​Clinical Practicality​​
   • The flexible, tapered tip allows easy passage through strictures or scarred urethras without requiring prior dilation.
   • Particularly advantageous for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral strictures.
4. ​​Multi-Functionality​​
   • Triple-lumen design enables simultaneous drainage, bladder irrigation, and hemostatic pressure application.​

​​Intended Use and Applications​ of C. R. Bard 3 Way Foley Catheter:

• ​​Urological Departments​​: For indwelling catheterization, postoperative irrigation, and hemostasis in transurethral surgeries.
• ​​General Surgery, Gynecology, Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, and Emergency Rooms​​: For temporary catheterization or preoperative drainage.
• ​​Obstetric Applications​​: Used for inducing labor, uterine flushing, or drainage.
• Clinical Scenarios​​

1. ​​Postoperative Management​​: Continuous bladder irrigation after prostatectomy or bladder tumor resection.
2. ​​Critical Care​​: Drainage for immobilized patients or those with urinary retention.
3. ​​Complex Cases​​: Catheterization for BPH or urethral stricture patients where standard catheters are difficult to insert.
