The compound noun 'Foley catheter' can be considered a COMMON NOUN based on the fact the noun 'Foley' is functioning as an attributive noun (acting as an adjective), describing the common noun 'catheter'. This compound noun is a word for ANY of a certain type of catheter, not a word for a specific, individual catheter.
