There are many types of silicone urinary catheters, each with its own purpose. Take the well-known Kangyuan urinary catheter on the market as an example. The silicone urinary catheters independently developed and produced by Kangyuan include children’s silicone urinary catheters, standard silicone urinary catheters (2-way / 3-way), silicone urinary catheter with tiemann tip, suprapubic silicone urinary catheter, slotted silicone urinary catheter (2-way / 3-way), 3 way silicone urinary catheter with big balloon(straight tip/tiemann tip), silicone urinary catheter with temperature probe (3-way / 4-way), painless silicone urinary catheter. So what is the purpose of these?

First of all, they have a common feature. They are all made of silicone. All the silicone urinary catheters produced by Kangyuan are made of 100% pure medical silicone, which can be left in the middle and long term (≤29 days). Next, we will introduce the uses separately.

1. Children’s silicone urinary catheter

Children’s silicone urinary catheters are mainly suitable for clinical catheterization of pediatric patients.

2. Standard silicone urinary catheter (2-way / 3-way)

The optimized design of the excretion channel of the standard silicone urinary catheter can meet the requirement of large-volume excretion to the greatest extent. The three-chamber type adds a flushing chamber.

3. Silicone urinary catheter with tiemann tip

The silicone urinary catheter with tiemann tip’s unique tip elbow shape can make it easier for male patients with urethral stricture caused by prostatic hypertrophy to be inserted and removed, and the insertion and removal effect and the catheterization effect are better.

4. Suprapubic silicone urinary catheter

Open-type silicone urinary catheter is also called fistula, which is used for bladder fistula. The design without guide head increases the excretion flow.

5. Slotted silicone urinary catheter (2-way / 3-way)

The slotted silicone urinary catheter can drain urethral secretions through the groove on the catheter in a timely manner, reducing the incidence of urethral inflammation. The three-chamber type adds a flushing chamber.

6. 3 way silicone urinary catheter with big balloon(straight tip/tiemann tip)

The 3 way silicone urinary catheter with big balloon is mainly used for compression hemostasis during urological surgery. The improved design of the position of the outlet hole makes it more convenient to flush the bladder and even the urethra. Tiemann tip is more suitable for male use.

7.Silicone urinary catheter with temperature probe (3-way / 4-way)

The silicone urinary catheter with temperature probe can monitor the temperature of the bladder in real time, which is the best way to monitor the body temperature of critically ill patients. The four-chamber type adds a flushing chamber.

8. Painless silicone urinary catheter

The painless silicone urinary catheter is specially used for sustained-release drug injection pain during indwelling catheterization, realizing continuous quantitative administration and achieving the painful effect.

The above are the different uses of silicone urinary catheters, do you understand?
