Category: Urology / Urinary Catheter
Size: 18 FR / 18 FG

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.
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.
| Foley Size | Approx. Diameter (mm) | Diameter (cm) | Diameter (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 FR / FG | 2.00 mm | 0.200 cm | 0.079 in |
| 8 FR / FG | 2.67 mm | 0.267 cm | 0.105 in |
| 10 FR / FG | 3.33 mm | 0.333 cm | 0.131 in |
| 12 FR / FG | 4.00 mm | 0.400 cm | 0.157 in |
| 14 FR / FG | 4.67 mm | 0.467 cm | 0.184 in |
| 16 FR / FG | 5.33 mm | 0.533 cm | 0.210 in |
| 18 FR / FG | 6.00 mm | 0.600 cm | 0.236 in |
| 20 FR / FG | 6.67 mm | 0.667 cm | 0.262 in |
| 22 FR / FG | 7.33 mm | 0.733 cm | 0.289 in |
| 24 FR / FG | 8.00 mm | 0.800 cm | 0.315 in |
The Romsons Foley Trac range includes sizes from 12 FG through 24 FG on the older manufacturer specification, with 18 FG identified by a red colour code.

Important: The table above only converts French size into external diameter. It does not determine which catheter size is clinically suitable for an individual patient.
Designed to provide a pathway for continuous drainage of urine from the bladder when catheterisation is clinically required.
A Foley catheter may be prescribed for selected patients who are unable to empty the bladder adequately.
The catheter can be connected to an appropriate urine collection bag for continuous drainage.
In hospitals and other clinical settings, catheterisation may be used when accurate monitoring of urine output is medically necessary.
Foley catheters may be used before, during or after selected procedures where bladder drainage is required.
May be used for selected bedridden or mobility-restricted patients when continuous urinary drainage has been clinically indicated.
Suitable for urological and patient-care applications in hospitals, nursing facilities and healthcare institutions.
Some catheterised patients continue care at home under professional supervision and appropriate caregiver instruction.
A 2-way Foley catheter provides separate pathways for urine drainage and balloon inflation.
Romsons describes the catheter as having a sturdy, properly coned soft closed tip to facilitate insertion.
Large laterally positioned eyelets help enable efficient urine drainage.
The hard plastic non-return valve is designed to facilitate balloon inflation and deflation.
The drainage funnel is designed to grip the tapered connector of a urine bag and help reduce accidental disconnection.
Romsons assigns red to the 18 FG Foley Trac size for quicker identification.
Romsons states that Foley Trac catheters are sterile and individually packed.
The French sizing system provides a clear and recognised catheter diameter reference:
18 FR ≈ 6.00 mm external diameter
The live Microsidd page additionally describes the product as being made from medical-grade natural latex rubber with a siliconised smooth surface.

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.
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.
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.
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 |

| 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.

It is a 2-way indwelling urinary balloon catheter in 18 French size from Romsons, intended for bladder drainage when catheterisation is clinically indicated.
18 FR indicates the catheter's external diameter using the French sizing system.
An 18 FR catheter has an approximate external diameter of:
6.00 mm = 0.60 cm = 0.236 inches.
Yes. FR and FG are commonly used for the same French catheter sizing system.
No. 18 FR equals approximately 6 mm, not 18 mm.
Yes. Romsons identifies Foley Trac as a 2-way Foley balloon catheter.
The manufacturer's Foley Trac size chart identifies 18 FG as red.
The listing contains 10 catheters.
Yes. Romsons describes Foley Trac as sterile and individually packed.
Once correct placement in the bladder is established, the retention balloon is inflated according to the manufacturer-specified volume to help keep the catheter in position.
The current Microsidd listing places 18 FR within a 30–50 ml balloon-capacity range. For actual inflation, follow the exact value printed on the individual catheter packaging.
Yes. Romsons describes the drainage funnel as designed to grip the tapered connector of a urine bag.
The external diameter differs:
16 FR ≈ 5.33 mm
18 FR ≈ 6.00 mm
Neither size should be chosen without considering the clinical requirement.
Not simply for that reason. The correct Foley catheter size should be selected based on the patient's needs and healthcare professional's guidance.
A Foley catheter may be used for appropriate management of urinary retention when catheterisation has been clinically indicated.
Some patients have indwelling catheters managed in a home-care setting, but care should follow professional instructions.
Foley catheterisation is an invasive procedure. Insertion should be performed or specifically directed by an appropriately trained healthcare professional using suitable aseptic technique.
No. A sterile single-use catheter should not be cleaned, resterilised or reused.
Do not attempt invasive manipulation. Follow the catheter-care instructions supplied by your healthcare provider and seek professional assistance if drainage unexpectedly decreases or stops.
Contact an appropriate healthcare professional for symptoms such as fever, significant pain, bleeding, lower abdominal discomfort, persistent leakage around the catheter, unexpected reduction in urine flow or other concerning changes.
