This collection centers on the Bardex I.C. (Infection Control) Foley catheter, a silver alloy hydrogel-coated latex catheter engineered to reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) during indwelling use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe featured \u003cstrong\u003eBardex I.C. Foley Catheter, 18 French, 2-Way, 30 cc Balloon (0166SI18)\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs a standard tip with a silver alloy coating on both the internal and external surfaces. Silver ions are known to inhibit bacterial colonization along the catheter, which is why the I.C. line is often specified where infection prevention protocols call for a coated device. The 30 cc balloon supports secure retention, and the sterile, single-use packaging keeps it ready for aseptic insertion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuyers evaluating Bardex typically weigh a few practical points. French size (the 18 Fr here refers to the outer diameter) should match the clinical need and patient anatomy; larger balloons like the 30 cc are commonly used post-surgically or where extra retention is required, while 5–10 cc balloons suit routine drainage. Because this is a latex catheter, confirm the patient has no latex sensitivity before use. A 2-way design provides one lumen for drainage and one for balloon inflation—standard for continuous drainage without irrigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/foley-catheters\"\u003eFoley catheters\u003c\/a\u003e and broader \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/catheters\"\u003ecatheters\u003c\/a\u003e collections, or round out a drainage setup with supplies from our urological category.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bardex-i-c-foley-catheter","title":"Bardex I.C.

Foley Catheter is clinically proven to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections; incorporating a technologically advanced formulation consisting of Bacti-Guard silver alloy coating and Bard hydrogel, the Bardex I.C. Foley catheter dramatically reduces bacterial adherence and minimizes biofilm formation. The occurrence of urinary tract infection is 3-2\/3 times greater in patients catheterized with a standard catheter than in patients catheterized with the Bardex I.C.
