Foley Catheter
Foley catheters are flexible tubes inserted into the bladder to drain urine. They have a small inflatable balloon at the tip that holds the catheter in place once inside the bladder. These catheters are commonly used in medical settings to manage urinary retention, facilitate accurate urine output measurement, and assist with certain medical procedures. Proper insertion and care of Foley catheters are essential for maintaining urinary function and preventing complications. They are an important tool in urological and critical care management.
