Poiesis Duette Dual-Balloon Two-Way Foley Catheter

Unique Design Elements of Duette Foley Catheter

• 10cc Retention Balloon and 5cc Bladder Protection Balloon for ultimate in comfort and safety.
• An additional layer of comprehensive care is added by the second distal balloon, which is placed on the catheter tip.
• This design reduces the incidences of CAUTI (catheter-associated urinary tract infection) by cushioning the tip to prevent trauma to the defensive bladder wall lining.
• The position of the drainage eyes is between the two balloons that reduce aspiration damage to the bladder’s defensive lining.
• The Duette is designed to be inserted and removed similar to a standard Foley catheter. Also, it requires little new training of medical personnel.

How is Duette Catheter Better than Traditional Foley Catheters?

• Mechanical irritation of Foley catheter damages the healthy bladder wall that is made up of layers with anti-bacterial properties for resisting infection, thereby disrupting these innate defenses
• Emptying bladder collapsing on the Foley tip results in such a trauma that breaks down the protective lining of the bladder wall
• Duette 2 Way Foley Catheter is manufactured with new, flexible materials
• Fashioned with 2 inflatable balloons that secure the catheter within the bladder
• Built with two lumens, where the first allows for the balloon to be inflated with sterile water while the second allows for the drainage of urine from the bladder
• Designed to reduce the adverse events from Foley urinary catheters, resulting in improved outcomes and better patient care with reduced health care costs

When to use Poiesis Duette Dual balloon catheter?

Duette Catheter reduces incidences of many catheter-related problems like:

• Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder lining)
• Chronic irritation of the bladder, which has been shown to increase the risk of bladder cancer between 8-10 percent
• CAUTI and UTIs
• Blockage of urine
• Penetration and perforation of the bladder wall
• Hematuria (blood in the urine)
• Patient pain levels during catheterization
• Painful bladder spasms
• Urine leakage around the Foley catheter
• Increased degree of sepsis

Duette Closed System Structural Design

Duette closed system architecture is essential. You should report any kinks or leaks in the tubing. If the bag becomes full do notify the caregiver or nurse. Do not let the bag or draw-off outlet tube touch the floor at any time. The closed system comprises of:

• Anchor balloon inflated with sterile water succeeding insertion preserves proper position of the catheter
• Protection balloon inflated with sterile water succeeding insertion safeguards the bladder wall from the catheter tip
• Catheter drainage tube requiring down-hill flow of urine
• Inflation ports
• Draw-off outlet tube
• Urine collection bag
