A Foley catheter is an indwelling urinary catheter that remains in the bladder to continuously drain urine. It has a small balloon at the tip that is inflated to help keep the catheter in place.
Foley catheters are used when ongoing drainage is needed over a period of time and are connected to a drainage bag. They are one of the primary types of urinary catheters used in both clinical and home care settings.
