The Bardia Catheter 30cc Silicone Coated Latex 40cm Grey – All Sizes is a professional-grade urinary drainage solution designed to provide the perfect balance of flexibility and protection. Balancing the natural pliability of a latex core with the advanced biocompatibility of a silicone elastomer coating, this catheter is built to maintain patient comfort during the catheterization period. Whether for clinical or home-care use, the Bardia system is a trusted, industry-standard device that delivers consistent and efficient urinary management.

Why Choose This Product?

When selecting an indwelling catheter, patient safety and comfort are paramount. The Bardia Catheter excels in these areas due to its protective silicone elastomer coating, which creates a smooth, hypoallergenic barrier between the latex material and the sensitive urethral mucosa. This feature significantly reduces tissue irritation, friction, and the risk of encrustation compared to standard uncoated latex catheters. By combining these material benefits with an expertly polished eyelet design, Bardia ensures reliable drainage and a more comfortable experience for the patient for up to one week.

Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Coating Technology: Silicone elastomer coating reduces surface friction and provides a protective layer against latex-related irritation.

• Durable Latex Core: Offers superior flexibility and ease of insertion while maintaining structural integrity.

• Large Capacity Balloon: Features a 30cc retention balloon for secure placement in the bladder.

• Patient Comfort: Individually polished, smooth eyelets minimize the risk of trauma during insertion and removal.

• Clinical Visibility: The discreet grey finish maintains patient dignity while meeting professional medical standards.

• Sterile Packaging: Every unit is individually sterile-wrapped, ensuring total hygiene until the moment of application.

Ideal Use Cases

• Short-Term Post-Operative Care: Ideal for patients requiring reliable drainage following surgical procedures.

• Clinical Urological Management: A standard choice for hospitals and clinics managing short-term urinary retention.

• Home-Care Settings: Provides a cost-effective, high-quality solution for caregivers managing patients with indwelling catheter needs for up to 7 days.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Wash hands thoroughly and maintain an aseptic environment. Inspect the sterile packaging for damage.

2. Insertion: Use a sterile lubricant to coat the distal tip of the catheter. Insert gently into the urethra until urine flow is observed, indicating the tip is in the bladder.

3. Securement: Inflate the 30cc balloon using sterile water only (do not use saline, which can crystallize). Once inflated, gently pull back on the catheter until the balloon is snug against the bladder neck.

4. Maintenance: Keep the drainage bag positioned below the level of the bladder at all times to prevent backflow and infection.

5. Removal: Deflate the balloon completely before gentle removal.

Important Safety/Storage Information

• Duration: This catheter is designed for short-term use (up to 7 days). Replace as instructed by your healthcare professional.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture, which can degrade the latex integrity.

• Latex Sensitivity: While the silicone coating provides a barrier, this product contains latex and should not be used on patients with known severe latex allergies.

• Professional Guidance: Ensure that all procedures involving indwelling catheters are performed by trained healthcare personnel.
