Foley Catheter

Catheters come in different types for various purposes. A Foley catheter is a double-lumen catheter with a balloon that is inflated to hold it in place in the bladder. It is connected to a closed drainage system to collect urine. Catheters are used to drain the bladder, assess urine output, obtain urine samples, and administer medications or irrigation into the bladder. Proper equipment and sterile technique are required when performing catheterization.

the introduction of a catheter into the urinary bladder.

This is usually performed only when absolutely necessary, because the danger exists of introducing microorganisms into the bladder.

commonly made of rubber or plastics although they

may be made from latex, silicone, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). sized by the diameter of the lumen using the French (Fr) scale: the larger the number, the larger the lumen.

straight catheter

is a single-lumen tube with a small eye or opening about 1 centimeters (1/2 inch) from the insertion tip.

coud catheter is a variation of the straight catheter. It is more rigid than other straight catheters and has a tapered, curved tip. This catheter may be used for men with prostatic hypertrophy because it is more easily controlled and less traumatic on insertion.

a double-lumen catheter.

The larger lumen drains urine from the bladder.


A second, smaller lumen is used to inflate the balloon

near the tip of the catheter to hold the catheter in place within the bladder.

The balloons of retention catheters are sized by the

volume of fluid used to inflate them. The two commonly used sizes are 10 mL and 30 mL balloons. The size of the balloon is indicated on the catheter along with the diameter.
Foley catheters usually are connected to a closed

gravity drainage system. This system consists of the catheter, drainage tubing, and a collecting bag for the urine. A closed system cannot be opened anywhere along the system, from catheter to collecting bag.

To relieve discomfort due to bladder distention or to provide

decompression of a distended bladder. To assess the amount of residual urine if the bladder empties incompletely. To obtain a sterile urine specimen. To empty the bladder completely prior to surgery To facilitate accurate measurement of urinary output for critically ill clients whose output needs to be monitored hourly. To provide for intermittent or continuous bladder drainage and/or irrigation. To prevent urine from contracting an incision after perineal surgery. To manage incontinence when other measures have failed. To provide access for instilling medication into the bladder.
