AllegroMedical.com offers Poiesis Medical Duette™ Dual-Balloon 2-way Urinary Catheter 14Fr, 10cc Retention Balloon with 5cc Bladder Protection Balloon, 100% Silicone
The Duette dual balloon, 100% silicone urinary catheter, is designed to maintain bladder mucosa integrity with its patented bladder protection balloon. Drainage eyes are located in between the retention and bladder protection balloon, designed for eliminating mucosa aspiration into the exposed drainage eyes and facilitating uninterrupted drainage.
“When sufficient damage is caused to the bladder defense mechanism……….bacterial adherence to the mucosa or exposed mucosal cell receptors occurs, and the patient develops symptomatic cystitis” Curtis Nickel, MD FRCSC and J. William Costerton PhD.
The Duette™ features three unique design elements that improve upon the Foley design:
- A second distal balloon, which is placed on the catheter tip, adds another layer in comprehensive infection control. It is designed to reduce incidents of CAUTI (catheter-associated urinary tract infection) by cushioning the tip to prevent trauma to the defensive bladder wall lining.
- The drainage eyes have been positioned between the two balloons, designed to prevent aspiration damage to the bladder’s defensive lining.
- The Duette™ is designed to be inserted and removed just like a standard Foley catheter. As a result, it requires little new training of medical personnel.

A:
No, the tip is the same as other Foley catheters but the second balloon surrounds the tip preventing it from damaging the delicate protective bladder lining. If the bladder lining is damaged bacteria can easily colonize on the damaged tissue. The drainage eyelets are located between the two balloons, which prevents the eyelets from coming in contacting the bladder lining and aspirating bladder lining tissue, which in turn exposes the layer of tissue beneath the bladder lining.

No. The second balloon surrounds the tip to prevent the tip from damaging the bladder lining. The drainage eyelets are between the two balloons which prevents the eyelets from coming in contact with the bladder lining and aspirating tissue. Damage or irritation of the bladder lining gets infected easily. This catheter help prevent UTIs better than any I've used including the silver alloy coated catheters.

No the tip is closed. Urine drains from the eyelets between the two balloons.
