Bard Lubri-Sil Two-Way I.C. Infection Control Foley Catheter With 30cc Balloon Capacity

Inflation/Deflation Guidelines

• Proper Catheter Inflation:
  - Ensure that the Bard Foley catheter balloon is positioned well within the patients bladder.
  - Slowly, with a gentle, constant force, inflate the Bard Foley catheter balloon with the volume prescribed on the package. Note that a 5cc balloon must be inflated with between 9cc and 10cc of sterile water.
  - Improperly inflated Bard Foley catheter balloons may cause drainage and deflation difficulties.

• Catheter Deflation:
  -Select a luer slip syringe
  - Slide the plunger of the syringe up and down the barrel of the syringe several times to "loosen it up"
  - Compress the plunger all the way and then pull back the plunger slightly so that it does not adhere to the front of the syringe barrel
  - Gently insert syringe in the catheter valve
  - Do not use more force than is required to make the syringe "stick" in the valve
  - Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water
  - If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently, once again, allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own
  - If the balloon does not deflate, reposition the patient
  - Ensure that the catheter is not in traction - the proximal end of the catheter is not compressed within the bladder neck
  - Ensure that urine flows freely
  - Attempt to deflate the balloon by using the pressure in the balloon to force water into the syringe
  - If the balloon still fails to deflate, apply very gentle, slow aspiration, aspiration that is too rapid or too forceful, may cause the inflation lumen within the Foley catheter to collapse
  - If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed
  - If this fails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol

   The Best!!

   As one who is sensitive to latex, this product is a winner! Plus the added effect of microbial suppression, makes the Bard I.C. a dual winner!
