   When a Foley catheter becomes clogged, it must be flushed or replaced. There is currently not enough adequate evidence to conclude whether washouts are beneficial or harmful. [13] There are several risks in using a Foley catheter (or catheters generally), including: The balloon can break as the healthcare provider inserts the catheter.

3. Urinary catheterization - Wikipedia

   A coudé catheter, including Tiemann's catheter, is designed with a curved tip that makes it easier to pass through the curvature of the prostatic urethra. [2] A hematuria catheter is a type of Foley catheter used for Post-TURP hemostasis. This is useful following endoscopic surgical procedures, or in the case of gross hematuria.

   Male external catheters are designed to be worn 24/7 and changed daily – and can be used by men with both light and severe incontinence. Male external catheters come in several sizes and lengths to accommodate anatomical variation. It is very important that the male external catheter/urisheath fits well – both the diameter and the length.

[2] He worked on development of this design for use as an indwelling urinary catheter, to provide continuous drainage of the bladder, in the 1930s.

7. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

   The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.
