Argyle Catheter 20G Male 30Cc Foley 2-Way Round Silicone 40Cm 2-Way 8887-630203 – Box of 10

When it comes to long-term catheterization, patient safety and structural reliability are paramount. The Argyle Catheter 20G Male 30Cc Foley 2-Way Round Silicone 40Cm 2-Way 8887-630203 – Box of 10 is a premium indwelling urological device engineered to provide continuous, high-performance bladder drainage. Designed specifically to accommodate male anatomical needs, this catheter incorporates a 100% silicone construction and a heavy-duty retention balloon to deliver a secure, leak-free, and highly biocompatible solution for complex fluid management.

Why Choose This Product?

Standard latex catheters often cause localized tissue irritation, encrustation, and allergic reactions over extended periods of use. The Argyle 8887-630203 model eliminates these clinical challenges by utilizing 100% medical-grade silicone. This completely latex-free material resists encrustation, maintains a wider internal lumen for faster flow rates, and is exceptionally gentle on delicate urethral tissue. Featuring a large 30mL (30Cc) retention balloon, it provides superior anchoring stability within the bladder, preventing accidental dislodgement and reducing the risk of bypass leakage. Purchasing this box of 10 ensures clinical teams and home caregivers maintain a reliable inventory of sterile urological supplies.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Biocompatible Silicone: Free from natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of urethral inflammation, strictures, and allergic reactions.

• Large 30mL (30Cc) Balloon: Provides exceptional anchoring security inside the bladder, minimizing accidental pull-outs and mitigating bladder spasms.

• Proportioned Male Length: The 40cm length provides optimal reach to navigate the male urethral tract safely and place the retention balloon securely.

• 20 Fr (20G) Round Tip Core: The sturdy 20 French gauge diameter with a smooth, round tip ensures structural stability during insertion while facilitating high-volume drainage.

• Efficient 2-Way Lumen Design: Features one dedicated lumen for inflation/deflation of the retention balloon and a separate high-flow lumen for continuous urine drainage.

• Encrustation Resistant: Smooth internal and external silicone walls inhibit crystalline deposits and biofilm formation, extending the safe wear time of the device.

• Sterile Pack of 10: Separately sealed to ensure strict compliance with aseptic handling protocols in hospital and home care settings.

Ideal Use Cases

• Severe Urinary Retention Management: Designed for the long-term or short-term management of acute urinary blockages, urethral obstructions, or neurogenic bladder.

• Post-Surgical Reconstructive Care: Ideal for urological post-operative recovery phases where a high-volume, secure indwelling catheter is mandatory.

• Long-Term Home Care & Residential Facilities: Provides an excellent, low-maintenance alternative for bedbound or geriatric male patients requiring dependable, continuous overnight and daytime drainage.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Open the sterile outer pack using strict aseptic techniques. Ensure the patient is prepped and cleansed following professional clinical catheterization guidelines.

2. Insertion: Apply a generous amount of sterile, water-soluble urological lubricant to the round tip and shaft of the catheter. Slowly guide the 40cm catheter through the male urethra until urine flow is visually confirmed.

3. Balloon Inflation: Advance the catheter slightly further into the bladder. Connect a sterile syringe containing sterile water to the inflation valve and slowly inflate the 30mL (30Cc) balloon.

4. Positioning: Gently pull back on the catheter until slight resistance is felt, ensuring the balloon rests securely against the bladder neck. Attach the drainage port to a sterile urine collection bag.

5. Deflation & Removal: When the catheter cycle is complete, insert a syringe into the inflation valve to completely aspirate all 30mL of fluid from the balloon. Slowly and gently withdraw the catheter line.

Important Safety/Storage Information

• Strictly Single-Use Only: Never attempt to wash, re-sterilize, or re-insert a used catheter, as this will lead to cross-contamination and severe Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs).

• Balloon Fluid Warning: Inflate the retention balloon strictly with sterile water. Never use saline solution, as it can crystalize and lock the valve, preventing subsequent deflation.

• Storage Environment: Store the box of 10 in a clean, dark, cool, and dry space. Keep away from ozone, high humidity, direct sunlight, and sharp instruments.

• Clinical Enforcement: This device must only be inserted or removed by a qualified healthcare professional or an individual fully trained by a medical practitioner. Discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately if the patient experiences persistent pain, hematuria (blood in the urine), or system blockages.
