What Is Foley Catheter

A Foley catheter is a flexible tube passed through the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine. It is the most common type of indwelling urinary catheter.

What is a Foley catheter used for?
A Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter.

A Foley catheter is a medical apparatus that creates a passageway for the drainage and collection of urine. This type of catheter is made of a pliable material that indwells into an individual's bladder by way of the urethra.

Featuring two separate channels down the tube, Foley catheters allow absolute stability and safe extraction. One channel of the catheter, by method of a balloon, is stabilized in a bladder; the other channel allows for the passage and collection of urine, by means of a leg bag or bedside drainage bag. Foley catheters are usually constructed out of either silicone or latex.
