TruCath® Duo Dual-Balloon Urinary Catheter
With a focus on enhancing patient comfort and supporting positive clinical outcomes, the TruCath® Duo Dual-Balloon Urinary Catheter is designed to help address frequent challenges posed by standard Foley catheters, such as the risk of bladder mucosa damage, the occurrence of bladder spasms, and the potential for infection.
Bladder-protection balloon
5 ml sterile water (always black)
Drainage
10 ml sterile water
(French size color)
and provides chemical and thermal stability
– for safety and functionality –
to support reduced mucosal irritation and potential encrustation
Proximal balloon provides retention and a secure placement in the bladder
The catheter tip is subsumed in the second, distal balloon. Once inflated, there is no longer a pointed tip like the standard Foley
Drainage eye position is between the sfat of the retention balloon and the bladder-protection balloon to help minimize negative pressure and drainage aspiration
Standard Foley Catheters
The indwelling Foley catheter may disrupt the bladder mucus layer and cause mechanical irritation, erosion of the bladder mucosa, exposing surfaces that allow bacterial adherence.

Uncompromising Protection
Patients face potential non-infectious and infectious complications with indwelling catheterization, particularly when used long-term, including pain and discomfort, tissue damage, hemorrhage, encrustation of the catheter leading to blockage, and lower urinary tract infection.
The innovative design of TruCath® Duo aims to minimize trauma to the bladder mucosa, thereby helping to reduce the risk of bladder spasms, often caused by irritation, inflammation, or constant stimulation from the catheter.
Additionally, by lowering mucosal irritation and providing a surface less conducive to bacterial adhesion, TruCath Duo may help reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), a common complication of indwelling catheter use.

Supporting Care Standardization
- The dual-balloon catheter utilizes the same insertion and removal technique as standard indwelling catheters —ensuring no learning curve for Foley users.
- The TruCath Duo Dual-Balloon Insertion Tray incorporates all the prep components for insertion— add the catheter and drainage bag of choice for a complete procedural solution
