the long length tip with three staggered eyes maximizes drainage and reduces the potential for total occlusion of the eyes by bladder tissue

A long tip helps prevent the balloon Fr.om pulling up and occluding the eyes under traction
In addition to the longer length
the tip is reinforced to accommodate a stylet for insertion.
