Romsons Foley Catheter 18 FR – Foley Trac 2-Way Balloon Catheter

The Romsons Foley Trac Foley Catheter 18 FR is a sterile 2-way indwelling urinary balloon catheter designed for continuous bladder drainage and urine collection when urinary catheterisation is clinically indicated.

This Microsidd listing contains 10 pieces of 18 FR Foley Trac catheters. The existing product page identifies the catheter as Romsons Foley Trac and specifies an 18 FR configuration.

Romsons' Foley Trac range incorporates a soft closed coned tip intended to facilitate insertion and large laterally placed drainage eyelets designed to support efficient urine flow after correct positioning.

The Foley Trac also uses a hard non-return valve for balloon inflation and deflation, while its elastic drainage funnel is designed to grip the tapered connector of a urine collection bag and help reduce accidental disconnection.

For quick clinical identification, Romsons uses a colour-coded valve system. The manufacturer identifies 18 FG with a red colour code.

The 18 FR / 18 FG size corresponds to an approximate external catheter diameter of:

6.00 mm = 0.60 cm = approximately 0.236 inches

Important: Foley catheter size, balloon volume, insertion, maintenance and removal should be determined or supervised by an appropriately trained healthcare professional.

What Does 18 FR Mean?

The French scale, written as FR, Fr or FG, describes the external diameter of a catheter.

The relationship is:

External diameter in millimetres = French size ÷ 3

Therefore:

18 ÷ 3 = 6.00 mm

So an 18 FR Foley catheter has an approximate outside diameter of:

6 mm = 0.60 cm = 0.236 inches

An 18 FR catheter is not 18 mm wide.

Product Uses

Urinary Bladder Drainage

Designed to provide a pathway for continuous drainage of urine from the bladder when catheterisation is clinically required.

Urinary Retention Management

A Foley catheter may be prescribed for selected patients who are unable to empty the bladder adequately.

Continuous Urine Collection

The catheter can be connected to an appropriate urine collection bag for continuous drainage.

Urine Output Monitoring

In hospitals and other clinical settings, catheterisation may be used when accurate monitoring of urine output is medically necessary.

Surgical & Post-Operative Care

Foley catheters may be used before, during or after selected procedures where bladder drainage is required.

Bedridden Patient Care

May be used for selected bedridden or mobility-restricted patients when continuous urinary drainage has been clinically indicated.

Hospital & Nursing Care

Suitable for urological and patient-care applications in hospitals, nursing facilities and healthcare institutions.

Home Healthcare

Some catheterised patients continue care at home under professional supervision and appropriate caregiver instruction.

Key Benefits of Romsons Foley Trac 18 FR

2-Way Foley Configuration

A 2-way Foley catheter provides separate pathways for urine drainage and balloon inflation.

Soft Coned Closed Tip

Romsons describes the catheter as having a sturdy, properly coned soft closed tip to facilitate insertion.

Large Drainage Eyelets

Large laterally positioned eyelets help enable efficient urine drainage.

Non-Return Balloon Valve

The hard plastic non-return valve is designed to facilitate balloon inflation and deflation.

Elastic Drainage Funnel

The drainage funnel is designed to grip the tapered connector of a urine bag and help reduce accidental disconnection.

Colour-Coded Size Identification

Romsons assigns red to the 18 FG Foley Trac size for quicker identification.

Sterile Individual Packaging

Romsons states that Foley Trac catheters are sterile and individually packed.

18 FR Standardised Size

The French sizing system provides a clear and recognised catheter diameter reference:

18 FR ≈ 6.00 mm external diameter

Romsons identifies Foley Trac as a 2-way Foley balloon catheter under its urology-care range, while the current Microsidd listing confirms the 18 FR and pack-of-10 configuration.

Balloon Capacity – Important Clarification

Your current Microsidd page states:

2-way 16 FR, 18 FR, 20 FR, 22 FR and 24 FR → 30–50 ml balloon capacity.

However, for actual use, I recommend publishing this wording:

Balloon Capacity: Refer to the exact capacity printed on the individual catheter package and follow the manufacturer's instructions and clinical protocol.

Do not interpret 30–50 ml as permission to choose any inflation volume within that range.

French size and balloon volume are separate specifications.

How a 2-Way Foley Catheter Works

A 2-way Foley catheter contains two separate internal channels:

Lumen Function
Drainage Lumen Allows urine to drain from the bladder into an appropriate collection system
Balloon Lumen Allows inflation and deflation of the retention balloon

Once correct catheter positioning inside the bladder has been confirmed by the healthcare professional, the balloon is inflated according to the product specification and appropriate clinical protocol.

The balloon helps retain the catheter in position while urine passes through the drainage lumen.

Never use balloon inflation as a method of determining whether the catheter has entered the bladder.

14 FR vs 16 FR vs 18 FR Foley Catheter

Since you now have individual Microsidd listings for all three sizes, this is valuable for SEO and AI retrieval.

Specification 14 FR 16 FR 18 FR
French size 14 FR 16 FR 18 FR
Approx. diameter 4.67 mm 5.33 mm 6.00 mm
Diameter in cm 0.467 cm 0.533 cm 0.600 cm
Diameter in inches 0.184 in 0.210 in 0.236 in
Relative external diameter Smaller Intermediate Larger
Automatically suitable for every adult? No No No

A higher French number means a larger catheter outside diameter.

The appropriate catheter should be selected based on the clinical requirement, not simply by choosing the largest available size.
