3-Way Double Balloons Foley Catheter is a medical device used for urinary catheterization in patients. It is a specialized type of Foley catheter that has two balloons instead of one. The first balloon, located near the tip of the catheter, is inflated to prevent the catheter from slipping out of the bladder. The second balloon, located further up the catheter, is inflated to apply pressure to the bladder neck, thus preventing urine reflux.
The catheter is made of flexible and biocompatible materials such as latex or silicone. It has multiple lumens, including one for urine drainage and others for inflating the balloons. The catheter is available in various sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies.
The 3-Way Double Balloons Foley Catheter is typically used in patients who have undergone urological procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate or bladder neck surgery. It can also be used in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction or urinary retention.
