Foley Catheter

Categories: Device

Default Image

Description:

A Foley catheter is a tube placed into the bladder to drain urine when men with BPH cannot urinate due to blockage. It is commonly used for acute urinary retention or short-term relief before medications or surgery take effect. While effective for emptying the bladder, long-term Foley use is avoided because of risks like infection, irritation, or discomfort. Most men eventually transition to definitive treatment once stable.
