The Covidien Dover Two-Way Coude Tip Silicone Foley Catheter with 30cc Balloon Capacity is a medical device used to drain urine from the bladder. It is made of silicone, which is a soft and flexible material that is less likely to irritate the urethra than latex. The catheter has a Coude tip, which is a curved tip that helps to prevent the catheter from kinking. The catheter is also latex-free, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
The catheter has a 30cc balloon capacity, which is ideal for patients who need a larger balloon to prevent the catheter from slipping out of the bladder. The catheter is also biocompatible, inorganic, non-porus, non-toxic, and non-adhering, which reduces the incidence of encrustation, urethritis, and stricture compared to latex catheters.
