The catheter should always go over the leg. It may seem counter production to gravity, but when the patient shuffles around in bed they can pull it out with their leg. The weight of their leg can also close it off. It can cause undue trauma to the patient, and drains just fine over the leg. The catheter should always go over the leg.

What can happen to a patient if the foley catheter is clamped off and the urine has backed up into the patient?
It is quite common for a catheter to be clamped off. Unfortunately not as common as it should be. When this is done the urine will be retained in the bladder. This is not a bad thing -> its what the bladder was designed for. The only problem with this is that if the catheter clamp is left on for an excessive amount of time it may cause pain (like a strong urge to go to the toilet) as the urine collects in the bladder or cause retrograde ureteric flow back to the bladder. One of the problems of NOT clamping a catheter is bladder shrinkage which can lead to urine bypassing (coming out down the sides of the catheter tube) by various mechanisms. bladder shrinkage can be a problem when the catheter is removed.
