  2. Foley catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_catheter

    A section cut of the distal end of a Foley catheter. The image shows a burst balloon, balloon lumen, and main drain lumen. Indwelling catheters/IDCs should be used only when indicated, as use increases the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) and other adverse effects. [1]

  3. Urinary catheterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_catheterization

    Catheters come in several basic designs: [1] A Foley catheter (indwelling urinary catheter) is retained by means of a balloon at the tip that is inflated with sterile water. The balloons typically come in two different sizes: 5 cm 3 and 30 cm 3. They are commonly made in silicone rubber or natural rubber.

  4. Catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter

    In most uses, a catheter is a thin, flexible tube (soft catheter) though catheters are available in varying levels of stiffness depending on the application. A catheter left inside the body, either temporarily or permanently, may be referred to as an "indwelling catheter" (for example, a peripherally inserted central catheter). A permanently ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Foley

    Diagram of a Foley catheter. Foley first described the use of a self-retaining balloon catheter in 1929, to be used to achieve hemostasis after cystoscopic prostatectomy. [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.

  6. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_retention

    This can be either an intermittent catheter or a Foley catheter that is placed with a small inflatable bulb that holds the catheter in place. [citation needed] Intermittent catheterization can be done by a health care professional or by the person themselves (clean intermittent self catheterization).

  7. Obstetric fistula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstetric_fistula

    The Foley catheter is recommended because it has a balloon to hold it in place. The indwelling Foley catheter drains urine from the bladder. This decompresses the bladder wall so that the wounded edges come together and stay together, giving it a greater chance of closing naturally, at least in the smaller fistulae. [citation needed]
