Soft Simplastic Foley Catheters

Soft Simplastic 2-way Foley catheters from Teleflex are latex indwelling catheters built for reliable long-term drainage where a softer, more flexible material matters. The line's defining feature is its Couvelaire tip — a large, open-ended eye design that promotes efficient drainage of blood clots, sediment, and debris that can clog standard rounded-tip catheters. That makes these a common choice following urologic surgery, for patients with hematuria, or in any situation where the bladder is prone to draining thicker fluid.

Each catheter is a two-way design with a separate 30 cc balloon channel for secure retention and a drainage lumen for continuous urine collection. The 30 cc balloon capacity sits above the standard 10 cc, giving clinicians the option of larger-volume inflation when extra anchoring or hemostatic tension is needed. Color-coded funnel ends let staff identify French size at a glance — a small detail that speeds catheter changes and reduces sizing errors on busy units.

We carry two of the most-requested sizes:

• 16 Fr, 30 cc (662530-000160) — a versatile mid-range size suitable for most adult drainage needs.
• 18 Fr, 30 cc (662530-000180) — a larger lumen favored when clot passage or higher output is anticipated.

All units ship sterile and individually packaged for single-use catheterization. Buyers typically ask how the Simplastic material compares to firmer catheters: the softer construction is intended to improve patient tolerance during extended dwell times while the Couvelaire tip preserves flow. If you're stocking for a facility, note that these are latex-based, so confirm patient allergy status before use.
