Description

A Foley catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. It consists of a drainage tube with an inflatable balloon at the tip, which is inflated once inside the bladder to keep the catheter in place. Foley catheters are commonly used in medical settings to drain urine from the bladder in patients who are unable to urinate on their own due to various conditions such as surgery, urinary retention, or bladder dysfunction. They are available in different sizes and materials, and healthcare professionals typically choose the appropriate catheter based on the patient's needs and medical condition. Foley catheters require sterile insertion procedures to reduce the risk of infection, and they are usually connected to a drainage bag to collect urine.
