Frequently Asked Questions
The urinary catheter is frequently called a "Foley." This is because it is named after its inventor, the famous Minnesota Urologist Dr. Frederick Foley. There are many different varieties and sizes, but the basic principles are the same. It is a rubber or silicone drainage tube with a retention balloon on the tip. The retention balloon holds it in the bladder, so urine can drain out. It is a closed system to decrease the chances of infection.
