Coloplast Folysil Catheter Paediatric Tiemann 2-Way Indwelling 3ml – All Sizes

The Coloplast Folysil Catheter Paediatric Tiemann 2-Way Indwelling 3ml – All Sizes is engineered specifically for the unique anatomical requirements of paediatric patients. When it comes to indwelling catheterization, material quality and design precision are non-negotiable. Coloplast has utilized high-performance, 100% silicone to create a catheter that minimizes tissue irritation and promotes better outcomes. By integrating a Tiemann tip and an optimized internal structure, this catheter ensures that young patients experience maximum comfort and consistent flow, even during long-term use.

Why Choose This Product?

Choosing a Folysil catheter means prioritizing patient safety and reducing the clinical complications often associated with latex-based products. Because silicone is inherently more biocompatible, it resists encrustation and bacterial colonization far better than latex. Furthermore, the Folysil design features a larger-than-standard lumen for any given French (FR) size, which provides superior drainage and drastically reduces the risk of obstruction. For clinicians and caregivers, this translates to fewer catheter-related issues and a more comfortable experience for the child.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Medical-Grade Silicone: Completely latex-free and highly biocompatible, making it ideal for patients with sensitivities or allergies.

• Optimized Lumen Design: Offers a significantly larger internal lumen than latex equivalents, ensuring reliable drainage and reduced blockages.

• Atraumatic Tiemann Tip: Specifically shaped to allow for easy, gentle, and atraumatic insertion, vital for paediatric care.

• Enhanced Visibility: The transparent shaft features an embedded radiopaque stripe, enabling quick and easy detection via X-ray.

• Large Eyelet Configuration: Designed to maximize fluid flow and maintain patency over extended periods of indwelling use.

• 3ml Retention Balloon: Specially sized for paediatric use to ensure secure placement without causing bladder discomfort.

Ideal Use Cases

• Paediatric Urology: Designed for infants and children requiring temporary or long-term indwelling catheterization.

• Post-Operative Care: A reliable choice for fluid management following urological or complex paediatric surgeries.

• Clinical & Home Care: Suitable for use in hospital settings or by trained caregivers in a home environment where long-term patency is required.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Ensure an aseptic environment and verify the size of the catheter is appropriate for the paediatric patient.

2. Insertion: Lubricate the Tiemann tip with a sterile, water-soluble lubricant. Gently insert the catheter into the urethra according to established paediatric nursing protocols.

3. Retention: Once correctly positioned, inflate the 3ml balloon using sterile water to secure the catheter.

4. Monitoring: Regularly observe the catheter for flow and check the insertion site for signs of irritation or discomfort.

5. Replacement: Adhere to hospital guidelines for the scheduled replacement of indwelling catheters.

Important Safety/Storage Information

• Professional Use Only: This device must be inserted by a trained healthcare professional.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight. Ensure the original sterile packaging remains unopened until the moment of use.

• Integrity Check: Inspect the balloon and shaft for any signs of damage before insertion.

• Consultation: If the patient experiences any persistent pain or if there is a cessation of urine flow, consult a physician immediately.
