Viggo Foley Balloon Catheter (Silicone)

Viggosure S Silicone Foley Balloon Catheter is a type of urinary catheter used for draining urine from the bladder. It is made of silicone, a medical-grade material known for its biocompatibility and flexibility.

The Foley catheter consists of a flexible tube with two lumens or channels. One lumen is used to drain urine from the bladder, while the other lumen is connected to an inflatable balloon at the tip of the catheter. The balloon is usually filled with sterile water or saline once the catheter is inserted into the bladder.

Inflating the balloon helps to secure the catheter in place and prevent it from slipping out.

Silicone Foley catheters are commonly used for patients who may have latex allergies or sensitivities. Silicone is softer and more resistant to encrustation or hardening compared to latex or other materials. These catheters are often used for long-term or indwelling catheterization.

It's important to note that Foley catheters, including silicone versions, should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Proper insertion, care, and maintenance of the catheter are essential to reduce the risk of infection and other complications.
