Its innovative design includes a hydrophilic polymer coating that enhances patient comfort during insertion and maintenance, thereby reducing discomfort associated with traditional latex catheters.

Key Features for Enhanced Comfort
One of the most notable characteristics of the Bardex Lubricath is its hydrophilic polymer coating. This feature promotes a smoother catheterization experience, greatly reducing friction and potential irritation. The catheter is also fitted with a 5 cc balloon that securely holds it in place, ensuring controlled drainage while minimizing the risk of displacement. The straight, round tip design further facilitates easier insertion, making it a preferred choice for both caregivers and patients.

Unmatched Safety and Sterility

Each catheter is pre-sterilized to eliminate the risk of infection and cross-contamination, ensuring that each patient receives a hygienic product. By adhering to stringent sterilization protocols, this catheter not only promotes better patient outcomes but also provides peace of mind to healthcare providers. The material composition, primarily latex, is also worth noting, especially for those aware of latex sensitivities, as it may contain latex that can cause reactions in some individuals.

The catheter�s French size of 16 Fr, which corresponds to a 5.3 mm diameter, blends versatility with efficient performance. Additionally, the short tip size contributes to the ease of use, making the Bardex Lubricath a practical choice for urinary drainage needs. Understanding these specifications helps healthcare providers select the best catheter for individual patient requirements.
