【Introduction】
A Foley catheter is a medical device that is used to drain urine from the bladder. It is a flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. A Foley catheter has a small balloon at the end that is inflated once the catheter is in place, which keeps the catheter from slipping out of the bladder.
Silicone Foley catheters are made of a type of medical-grade silicone that is designed to be soft and flexible, which can make them more comfortable for patients to use. They are also less likely to cause an allergic reaction than other types of catheters.
Silicone Foley catheters can be used for both short-term and long-term urinary catheterization. They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different patient needs. It is important to follow proper insertion and maintenance procedures to reduce the risk of infection and other complications.
