Foley Catheterisation Procedure

Foley Catheterisation is a common medical intervention performed to ensure adequate urine drainage by inserting a Foley catheter when a patient is unable to urinate. Foley Catheter - a thin, flexible tube is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine from the bladder.

What is a Foley catheter?

A Foley Catheter is a device that drains urine (pee) from the urinary bladder into a collection bag (Urine Bag) outside of the patient's body when you can’t pee on your own or for various medical reasons. A Foley catheter is also said to be an Indwelling Urinary Catheter.

It consists of a thin, flexible rubber or plastic tube that goes through urethra and into the patient's bladder. The tube has two separate passages (channels) along its entire length. One passage is a drainage port. This allows urine to drain from your bladder into a collection bag. The other passage connects to a balloon at the tip of the tube in your bladder. Home Nurses use this channel to fill the balloon with sterile water. The filled balloon holds the Foley catheter in place in your bladder.

While you’re awake, the catheter connects to a collection bag that attaches to the patient's leg. While you’re sleeping at night, you may wear a larger collection bag that hangs from a hook or rests on a flat surface near your bed.

Foley catheterisation is considered safe for the patients. They come in different sizes so that people of any age or size can use them easily.

A Foley Catheter Insertion - Step-by-Step

Firstly Gather all the Supplies:

Foley catheter
Sterile gloves
Lubricant gel
Antiseptic solution (e.g., iodine)
Sterile drapes
Syringe (for inflating the balloon)
Sterile water (to inflate the balloon)
Collection bag

Prepare the patient before starting the procedure

The home nurse will explain the entire procedure to the patient.
Give the patient the proper position, by having him lie on his back with his legs slightly apart.
Place a sterile cloth on the patient's lower body.
Ensure patient is suitable and consents

Clean the area

The nurse will wash her hands thoroughly then put on sterile gloves.
Clean the urethra and the surrounding areas with a cotton-ball dipped in antiseptic solution, from front to back (for women) or from tip to outside (for men).

Apply Lubricant

Apply Lubricant During Foley Catheterisation with water-soluble jelly to the tip of the catheter liberally for ease insertion.

Insert the cathete

Carefully insert the catheter into the urethra.
Male catheterization: For inserting catheter, The male urethra is longer as compared to the female urethra. A catheter is placed while the patient is lying down or in the frog-legged position. If there is a foreskin, it is retracted to its maximal limit before the catheter is gently inserted.
Female catheterization: For inserting catheter, The female urethra is short compared to the male urethra and is located above the vagina in the pelvis. Insertion of the catheter is facilitated by having the patient lie down on her back with the buttocks at the edge of the examination table. To provide adequate exposure of the urethra is obtained by elevating and supporting the legs by stirrups or placed in a frog-legged position. Finally, the labia are separated to expose the urethra for allowing catheter insertion easily.

Advance the catheter 2 to 3 inches until urine starts to flow properly.
Once urine starts to flow, advance the catheter another inch.

Hold the balloon inside the Bladder

To inflate the balloon, Attach the syringe filled with sterile water to the catheter port.
After inflating the balloon, the balloon holds a catheter tube inside the bladder.

Secure the Catheter

Gently pull the catheter back until resistance is felt to make sure the balloon is seated in the bladder. If the catheter is stuck, the balloon is firmly seated in the bladder.
Secure the catheter on the patient's thigh using tape to prevent it from moving.

Attach the Collection Bag

At the end, Check the catheter is connecting to the urine collection bag properly or not, where urine will be stored.
Place the bag below the level of the patient for proper drainage. In the hospital, the urine drainage bag will be hung on the bedside railing by a hook on the bag, but at home, you can place it on a flat surface or use a nail you hammer into the bed as a hanger, and hang the bag.

Foley Catheterisation is important for patients with various medical conditions that prevent them from urinating naturally. Proper Foley Catheterisation ensures that urine drains effectively, minimizing complications and providing relief to the patient.
