1. Medical Sterile Catheter:
- The term "medical sterile" indicates that the catheter is
designed to be free from microorganisms, reducing the risk of
infection during insertion. Sterility is crucial when introducing a
catheter into the body to prevent complications.
2. Silicone Coating:
- The catheter is coated with silicone, a biocompatible material
known for its flexibility and reduced friction. Silicone-coated
catheters aim to make the insertion process smoother and more
comfortable for the patient.
3. Foley Balloon Catheter:
- A Foley catheter is a type of indwelling urinary catheter that is
left inside the bladder for an extended period. It consists of a
flexible tube with a balloon at its tip.
- The balloon is inflated with sterile water once the catheter is
placed in the bladder. This inflation secures the catheter in
place, preventing it from slipping out unintentionally.
4. 2-Way :
- A 2-way Foley catheter typically has two lumens or channels—one
for urine drainage and another for balloon inflation.
These catheters are commonly used in medical settings for various
reasons, such as urinary retention, surgery, or when continuous
bladder drainage is required. The silicone coating enhances patient
comfort and helps reduce the risk of tissue irritation during
catheterization

Can you use Foley catheter for suprapubic?
Equipment utilized for the placement of a suprapubic catheter
varies by technique. Typically, standard Foley catheters are used
for drainage catheters.
Typically, a Foley catheter is designed for insertion through the
urethra into the bladder and is not used for suprapubic
catheterization. A Foley catheter has a balloon at its tip, which
is inflated inside the bladder to secure the catheter in place.
For suprapubic catheterization, a different type of catheter
specifically designed for this purpose is used. A suprapubic
catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the
bladder, above the pubic bone. This type of catheterization is
often chosen when urethral catheterization is not feasible or
contraindicated.
While Foley catheters and suprapubic catheters serve the common
purpose of draining urine from the bladder, they have distinct
designs and are intended for different routes of insertion.
Attempting to use a Foley catheter for suprapubic catheterization
would likely not be effective and could lead to complications.
If suprapubic catheterization is needed, it should be performed by
a trained healthcare professional. They will use a catheter
specifically designed for suprapubic use, and the procedure should
be done under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection
and other complications.
What is the difference between suprapubic catheter and Foley
catheter?
These include urethral or suprapubic catheter and are most commonly
referred to as Foley catheters. These catheters are most commonly
inserted into the bladder through your urethra. However, a
suprapubic catheter is inserted through a small incision or hole in
your abdomen.
1. Foley Catheter:
- Inserted through the urethra, which is the natural passage for
urine to exit the bladder.
- A balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated inside the
bladder to secure it in place.
- Commonly used in cases of urinary retention, surgery, or other
medical conditions where temporary or long-term drainage of urine
is necessary.
2. Suprapubic Catheter:
- Inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the bladder,
above the pubic bone.
- Does not pass through the urethra.
- Typically recommended when urethral catheterization is not
possible, contraindicated, or when a long-term catheter is needed.
- The catheter is secured in place without the need for a balloon
inflated inside the bladder.
What is the purpose of a suprapubic catheter?
A suprapubic catheter (tube) drains urine from your bladder. It is
inserted into your bladder through a small hole in your belly. You
may need a catheter because you have urinary incontinence
(leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery
that made a catheter necessary, or another health problem.
