Foleys Catheter 2 Way
In stock
A 2-way Foley catheter is an indwelling urinary catheter used in veterinary medicine for continuous bladder drainage, urine collection, and post-surgical management. It features a flexible tube with two channels: one for continuous urine drainage and the second for inflating a retention balloon to keep it securely in the bladder.

Specs & features.
The Foley catheter is primarily used when an animal requires extended periods of catheterization, preventing it from slipping out thanks to the self-retaining balloon. In veterinary practice, it is typically inserted using a wire stylet for added firmness, which is removed once the catheter reaches the bladder and before the balloon is inflated with sterile saline.
No specifications have been listed.
- Two-Channel (Lumen) Design: One lumen drains urine into a collection bag, while the other inflates or deflates the retention balloon.
- Biocompatible Material: Typically made of 100% medical-grade silicone or silicone-coated latex, which minimizes mucosal irritation and encrustation.
- Atraumatic Design: Features a smooth, rounded, or tapered tip with large, smooth side eyes for effective and gentle drainage.
