The first I ever heard of a Texas catheter was when I started residency in South Carolina in emergency medicine.
In med school in San Antonio tx was called external or condm catheter When I told my father he told me that when my uncle, charles Langford who a quadriplegic after a spinal cord injury from a diving accident my grandfather who is also named Charles Langford came up with the idea of attaching a Foley catheter to a condm to make a less uncomfortable catheter for him. my grandfather had a physics degree and worked at the time for Phillips. he nor the doctors caring for my uncle in 1948 in Houston Texas had seen that type of catheter before.
I'm not sure if this is the first time it was done .
