Homepage > Indwelling Foley Catheters >

Indwelling Foley catheters are flexible tubes inserted into the bladder through the urethra to continuously drain urine. They are typically used for patients who cannot urinate naturally due to surgery, medical conditions, or injury. These catheters have an inflatable balloon at the tip that holds the catheter in place inside the bladder.

They are available in various sizes and materials such as latex or silicone and can be coated (e.g., with hydrogel or silver) to reduce infection risk and improve comfort during long-term use.
