urinary bladder
A Foley catheter is a soft and sterile plastic or rubber tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. It can be left in place for longer periods of time, so it is often used after surgery or for sterile urine collection.
A tube inserted into the bladder after a urethra gauge is used to measure the circumference of the urethra. Once the measurement is obtained, the appropriate sized urinary catheter (foley catheter) is inserted thru the urethra up the urinary tract to the bladder. A balloon is inflated usually via a 10 cc syringe and the balloon acts to hold the foley catheter in place.
