Frequently Asked Questions
| Question |
Answer |
| What is the benefit of having a silicone Foley catheter versus a latex Foley catheter? |
The advantage is the silicone material. Silicone is biocompatible. It is non-reactive to human tissue. Silicone is inorganic which is man-made, inert, and contains no extractable chemicals or proteins. Latex is an organic material that also contains numerous extractable chemicals and proteins which act as a good source for bacterial growth. Silicone is non-adherent. It repels urine, water, blood, and most organic materials to reduce the incidence of bacterial attachment and growth. Silicone is non-porous so it does not absorb body fluids. It eliminates "Foley Catheter Expansion" whereas latex is porous (acts like a sponge). Silicone is also 100% latex-free. |
| Do silicone coated latex Foley catheters share the same benefits of the DOVER™ 100% Silicone Foley catheter? |
No. Silicone coated latex Foley catheters still utilize a latex platform and do not share the same benefits of a true, 100% silicone catheter (see above). Silicone coated catheters do not eliminate hypersensitivity concerns because they are still comprised of latex. |
| Is silicone still considered stiff and uncomfortable? |
Silicone actually warms to the body's temperature and eventually molds to the shape of the urethra making it more flexible and comfortable. | |
