摘要：
The invention relates to medical equipment for treatment, specifically medical equipment for extracting and draining fluids contained in the bladder of a patient. The Foley catheter according to the invention comprises tubing, with at least two lumens, made of a biocompatible polymer material with a length of between 100 and 400 mm and outer diameters of between 1 and 15 mm. The surface of the tubing has a high-relief texture with a maximum height of 30 micrometers and patterns designed to generate the property of hydrophobicity and to reduce the adhesion of bacteria to said surface. A collecting funnel with at least two channels, made from medical-grade polymer material, is fixed to the distal end of the tip of the tubing, while the tip of the tubing is closed in such a way that it forms a rounded tip. A flexible inflatable balloon is arranged upstream of the tip, for the anchoring of the catheter.
