Foley Catheter is an indwelling urinary catheter used to drain urine from the bladder when a patient cannot urinate naturally. Made of medical-grade latex or silicone, it features a flexible tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra. The catheter has a balloon at the tip, which is inflated with sterile water to keep it securely in place. It is commonly used for patients undergoing surgery, those with urinary retention, prostate issues, or long-term bed rest. The Foley Catheter allows continuous urine drainage into a collection bag, helping monitor output, maintain hygiene, and prevent bladder complications. It is safe, reliable, and easy to manage.
