C. R. Bard BioCath 10ml 18Fr – Foley Catheter for Urinary Drainage

C. R. Bard BioCath 10ml 18Fr is a Foley catheter designed for continuous urinary bladder drainage in hospital and clinical settings. The 18Fr size provides a larger drainage lumen than smaller adult catheter sizes, while the 10ml retention balloon helps secure the catheter in the bladder after insertion.

It is suitable for use in hospitals, wards, theatres, recovery units, urology departments, maternity units, and long-term care settings where dependable urinary catheterization is required.
