Sterimed has introduced the all-silicon Foley balloon catheter model - BH, designed to promote bladder health with a low friction surface to minimize trauma. This catheter features a flow control clamp that allows urine drainage only when the bladder is full, helping to maintain normal bladder function while also reducing infection risk associated with traditional urine bags. The catheter's special silicon elastomer is designed for durability, preventing tearing during inflation and ensuring a less traumatic experience for patients.

1. Sterimed Introduces
All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter Model - BH

2. All Silicon Foley Balloon Catheter (ASFBC)
Model – BH (Bladder Health)
• The ASFBC Model – BH is an innovative
product which is designed to maintain Bladder
Health as well as provides a Low Friction
Surface for lesser Trauma.

3. • Due to catheterization, Urine is continuously
drained out of the Urinary Bladder. The
Bladder always remain empty (except for the
residual urine). Normally Silicon Catheter are
used on patients who require catheterization
for long term, sometimes 6-8 months or even
more. The muscles of the Bladder becomes
weak due to non use for a longer period.

4. Benefits of ASFBC Model - BH
• When the patient recovers and the catheter is
removed, patient will feel like urinating always or
might even have constant dripping due week bladder
muscles.
• To avoid this Sterimed All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter provides a Flow Control Clamp which is a
part of the Catheter Funnel.

5. • Under normal circumstances the Clamp is kept
closed to allow urine to collect in the bladder.
When the bladder becomes full and the patient
feels urge to urinate, the Flow Clamp is opened
and the urine is drained out.
• In case urine need not drained out in urine
collection bag, it may be drained out in a normal
urinal which can also be used to measure the
quantity of urine passed by the patient.

6. Sterimed All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter has a Twofold Advantage
• Drainage may be done only
when the bladder is full
leading the bladder muscles to
function normally.
• The urine bag, which may be
another cause of infection, can
be avoided.
Clamp

7. • Of course the Clamp should be used only
when the patient is in a position to
communicate. Otherwise the Catheter can be
used like a normal All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter which can be collected to a urine
collection bag.

8. • Another distinct advantage of the Sterimed All
Silicon Foley Balloon Catheter is the convenience
factor. The Clamp can be closed and the Catheter
disconnected from the urine collection bag when
the patient has to move about or taken out for
tests.
• Unpleasant sight and the inconvenience of
carrying a urine bag hanging by the side of the
wheel chair or being carried by the attendant can
be avoided.

9. Conclusion
• Almost all available All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter in the market today have a high
friction surface due to the inherent property
of Silicon Rubber.
• However, Sterimed All Silicon Foley Balloon
Catheter has been specifically treated to
provide a low friction self lubricated surface.
• The Catheterization is definitely less traumatic
for the patient.

10. • Normally most silicon catheters have a major
problem of the balloon tearing after inflation in
the Bladder.
• Sterimed All Silicon Foley balloon catheter uses a
very special Silicon Elastomer to make the
balloon.
• The Elastomer has a very low durometer and a
very high elasticity.
• This means that the balloon will need very little
force to inflate it and will not tear easily when
inflated inside the body.
