Indications for Use
The Bardex I. C. 4-Way Foley Catheter is indicated for use in bladder/urinary tract drainage/irrigation and to assist in hemostasis and surgical site drainage following procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate.
Device Story
Bardex I.C. 4-Way Foley Catheter is a sterile, disposable, red latex urinary catheter. It features a 4-lumen design, including a fourth lumen for prostatic drainage and five drainage eyes proximal to the balloon, plus an open concave (Couvelaire) tip with three additional distal eyes. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for post-surgical bladder management, specifically following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The device facilitates simultaneous drainage, irrigation, and hemostasis. The additional lumen and proximal eyes are intended to improve drainage efficiency compared to standard 3-way catheters. The catheter is X-ray opaque and features a silver/hydrogel coating.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device was evaluated against established performance and functional testing standards for conventional and antimicrobial Foley catheters as per the FDA guidance dated September 12, 1994.
Indicated for patients requiring bladder/urinary tract drainage, irrigation, hemostasis, and surgical site drainage following procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate.
