When to use a Foley Catheter?

Your healthcare provider may recommend that you use a catheter if you have:

• Incontinence
• Skin impairment or breakdown
• Enlarged prostate, thus stopping urine flow
• Fibromyalgia
• Acute urinary retention
• Genital injuries
• Paralysis or physical injuries
• Ureterectomy
• Hysterectomy

Key Details about the Product

1. Foley Catheter: The Bard Bardia Foley Catheter is an indwelling urinary catheter designed to be inserted into the bladder to drain urine. It remains in place for an extended period to continuously empty the bladder.
2. Silicone-Elastomer Coating: The catheter is coated with a silicone-elastomer material. This coating enhances the surface smoothness, allowing for easier insertion and reducing friction during use. The silicone-elastomer coating also helps minimize the risk of encrustation or blockage within the catheter.
3. 2-Way Design: The Bardia Foley Catheter is a 2-way catheter with two channels or lumens. One lumen is used to inflate the balloon, securing the catheter in the bladder, while the other lumen allows urine drainage from the bladder into a collection bag.
4. 5cc Balloon Capacity: The balloon on the catheter has a capacity of 5cc (cubic centimeters). Once the catheter is properly positioned in the bladder, the balloon is inflated with sterile water or saline solution. The inflated balloon prevents the catheter from being dislodged or slipping out.

How to Inflate and Deflate Bardia Foley Catheter?

How to Inflate Bardia Silicone Elastomer Coated Foley Catheter?

• Ensure that the Bardia 2-way silicone-elastomer coated Foley catheter balloon is positioned well within the patient's bladder.
• Slowly, with a gentle, constant force, inflate the catheter balloon with the volume prescribed on the package.
• Note that the 5cc balloon must be inflated with 10cc of sterile water.
• Improperly inflated Bard Foley catheter balloons may cause drainage and deflation difficulties.
• Using fluid other than sterile water may cause the balloon not to empty properly, especially after long dwell times.

How to Deflate Bard Bardia 2-Way Silicone Coated Indwelling Catheter?

• Select a luer lock or slip-tip syringe
• Slide the plunger of the syringe up and down the barrel of the syringe several times to "loosen it up"
• Compress the plunger all the way and then pull back the plunger slightly so that it does not adhere to the front of the syringe barrel
• Gently insert the syringe into the catheter valve
• Do not use more force than is required to make the syringe "stick" in the valve
• Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water
• If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently. Once again, allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own.
• If the balloon does not deflate, reposition the patient
• Ensure that the Bardia 2-way silicone-elastomer coated Foley catheter is not in traction—the proximal end of the catheter is not compressed within the bladder neck.
• Ensure that urine flows freely
• Attempt to deflate the balloon by using the pressure in the balloon to force water into the syringe as described above
• If the balloon still fails to deflate, apply very gentle slow aspiration. An aspiration that is too rapid or too forceful may cause the inflation lumen within the Foley catheter to collapse.
• If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed
• If this fails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol

Warnings:

• Do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base. They will damage the catheter.
• Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use
• Inflate the balloon with sterile water to the volume stated on the inflation lumen of the catheter by using a water-filled Luer tip syringe
• Do not use the needle
• Do not exceed recommended capacities
