Core Advantages of Three Material Types for Foley Catheters

Latex Foley Catheter

The Latex Foley catheter is soft and elastic, fitting closely with the urethral mucosa to minimize insertion discomfort. As a cost-effective Foley catheter option, it is the preferred choice for short-term routine suction catheterization (1-3 days). With good air permeability, this Latex suction Foley catheter offers excellent compatibility for non-latex-allergic patients, ensuring wide clinical application and controllable costs.

PVC Foley Catheter

The PVC Foley catheter is economical and practical with remarkable cost advantages. Boasting moderate hardness, this PVC Foley catheter enables convenient and efficient intubation for quick placement. Its smooth surface prevents secretion adhesion, simplifying cleaning and maintenance—making the PVC Foley catheter a high-frequency economical option in clinical suction scenarios.

Silicone Foley Catheter

The Silicone Foley catheter features superior biocompatibility and ultra-low irritation, ideal for patients with sensitive or inflamed urethral mucosa. Corrosion-resistant and durable, this Silicone Foley catheter supports long-term indwelling (1-4 weeks) without easy aging or damage. Free from latex allergy risks, the Silicone Foley catheter suits diverse populations including allergy sufferers, combining safety and adaptability.
