2-Way Foley Catheter, 45cm, Standard Tip

The most commonly used 2-way Foley catheter sizes for adult females are typically between 12 French (Fr) and 16 French (Fr). The specific size chosen depends on factors such as the patient’s anatomy, medical condition, and purpose of catheterization.

• 12 Fr: Smaller size, often used in cases where there may be urethral strictures or when a smaller catheter is required for comfort.
• 14 Fr: Considered the standard size for most adult female catheterizations.
• 16 Fr: Used when slightly larger drainage is necessary, but still within the comfortable range for most females.

For adult males, the most commonly used 2-way Foley catheter sizes range between 14 French (Fr) and 18 French (Fr), depending on factors like the patient’s condition, urethral size, and the reason for catheterization.

• 14 Fr: This is generally considered the standard size for male catheterization, as it balances comfort and adequate drainage.
• 16 Fr: Another commonly used size that offers slightly larger drainage capacity without significant discomfort.
• 18 Fr: Used when larger drainage or a more rigid catheter is required, often in cases of larger patients or for specific medical conditions (e.g., post-surgical patients).

In clinical practice, 14 Fr is often the most frequently used size for female patients and 14 Fr and 16 Fr are the most commonly selected sizes for male catheterization unless a larger or smaller size is medically indicated.
