1. What is a Foley Catheter? Understanding the Basics

A Foley catheter is a flexible tube that a clinician passes through the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine. It is the most common type of indwelling urinary catheter.

Why is it called a “Foley”?

Named after Frederic Foley, the surgeon who designed it, the tube has two separated channels or lumens. One lumen, open at both ends, drains urine into a collection bag. The second has a valve on the outside end and connects to a balloon at the inside tip. The balloon is inflated with sterile water when it is inside the bladder to stop it from slipping out.

4. Professional Procedure: How Our Nurses Perform Catheterization

When you book a Foley Catheter Insertion at home in Gurgaon with WellSeva, we follow the “Golden Standard” of Sterile Technique:

Step 1: Preparation & Consent

The nurse explains the procedure to the patient and family to reduce anxiety. We ensure a well-lit, private area is prepared.

Step 2: The Sterile Kit

We use a pre-packaged, sealed sterile tray which includes:

• Fenestrated drapes.

• 10% Povidone-Iodine solution.

• Sterile Lubricant (2% Lignocaine Jelly).

• 10ml Syringe with sterile water.

Step 3: Numbing & Lubrication

To ensure a painless catheter insertion, we use Lignocaine jelly. This numbs the urethral lining and provides a smooth path for the tube.

Step 4: Insertion & Balloon Inflation

The nurse gently inserts the catheter. Once urine flow is visible (confirming it’s in the bladder), the balloon is inflated with exactly 10ml of sterile water.

Step 5: Securement

The tube is secured to the patient’s thigh using medical tape to prevent accidental pulling or “tugging” on the bladder neck.

5. Preventing CAUTI (Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection)

The biggest risk of long-term catheterization is infection. Our nurses educate Gurgaon families on these 5 preventive measures:

1. Keep the Bag Low: Always keep the drainage bag below the level of the bladder to prevent backflow.

2. Hand Hygiene: Never touch the catheter or the drainage tap without washing your hands with soap for 20 seconds.

3. Closed System: Do not disconnect the catheter from the Urobag unless absolutely necessary.

4. Daily Cleaning: Use mild soap and water to clean the “meatus” (the area where the tube enters the body).

5. Hydration: If the doctor allows, ensure the patient drinks $2–3$ liters of water daily to flush the system.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Can I change the urine bag myself?

It is recommended to have a professional handle it to maintain the sterile “closed system,” but we can train family members on how to empty the bag safely.

Leakage (bypassing) usually happens due to bladder spasms or a blocked tube. Do not pull it. Call our home nursing service in Gurgaon for an immediate checkup.

Yes, we respect patient privacy and provide both male and female certified nurses for catheterization.
