Description
The Cliny Catheter, crafted by CLINY, offers a versatile and reliable solution for urinary catheterization needs across various patient demographics. Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, these catheters are biocompatible, hypoallergenic, and latex-free, making them suitable for patients with latex allergies. The silicone material enhances comfort by becoming slippery when wet, facilitating easier insertion and reducing irritation, which in turn lowers the risk of urinary tract infections.
Variants and Design
Cliny Catheters are available in multiple configurations to cater to specific medical requirements:
- Adult Foley Catheters: Offered in 2-way and 3-way designs with sizes ranging from 16Fr to 24Fr. These catheters feature varying balloon capacities and lengths, providing flexibility for both hospital and home use.
- Pediatric Foley Catheters: Designed with smaller sizes and softer silicone to minimize discomfort for younger patients.
- Intermittent Self-Catheterization Sets: Reusable and available in male and female lengths, these sets include practical accessories such as a foldable container and carry case.
Functional Features
The catheters are equipped with:
- Double or Single Lumen: For effective urine drainage and balloon inflation.
- Smooth, Non-Adherent Surface: To maintain a closed drainage system and reduce infection risk.
- Robust Balloon System: Ensures secure placement within the bladder.
Intended Use
Cliny Catheters are designed for both indwelling urinary drainage and intermittent self-catheterization. They are suitable for patients with conditions such as urinary retention, kidney or bladder disease, neurological disorders, or post-operative needs. The product line addresses both adult and pediatric applications, providing a comprehensive solution for diverse clinical scenarios.
Maintenance and Care
For reusable variants, proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial. Users should clean the catheter with soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and disinfect using a diluted Milton solution. It is important to avoid boiling water, organic solvents, and sharp implements during cleaning. The catheter should be stored in its provided container, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and should be reused for no more than 28–30 days.
Safety Guidelines
Adhering to safety guidelines is essential for effective use. Users are advised to:
- Follow instructions for insertion and removal.
- Avoid modifying the catheter.
- Check the 'use before' date and inspect for any damage.
For pediatric use, selecting the appropriate size based on age and clinical factors is recommended, with consultation from a healthcare professional when necessary.
Packaging
Cliny Catheters are available in various packaging options, including single units and boxes, with some sets offering additional storage and cleaning accessories. This comprehensive range ensures that healthcare providers and patients can find a suitable option tailored to their specific needs.
