Foley’s Catheter is a thin, flexible catheter used especially to drain urine from the bladder by way of the urethra.

Foley’s catheter is needed in cases such as:

• In cases of acute urinary retention

• When intake and output are being monitored

• For preoperative management

• To enhance healing in incontinent patients with open sacral and perineal wounds

• For patients on prolonged bedrest

• For patients needing end-of-life care

What if you refuse a foley catheter due to an autoimmune disease that leaves me open for infection as it is a short surgery?

Most surgeons will work with you regarding concern about risk of infection due to catheterization. The infections from Foleys are usually due to long term indwelling catheters. If you are incontinent there may be reasons why the surgeon prefers to have you controlled during the surgery. If you do not want the catheter to be indwelling, you could ask that you be "straight cathed" prior to and during the surgery. If you have a latex allergy, the surgeon will order a PVC catheter. If you tell your doctor why you are afraid to have the Foley, then most doctors will allay your fears or allow you to refuse an indwelling catheter.

How long is can a catheter stay in an outpatient?

The duration a catheter can remain in an outpatient typically depends on the type of catheter and the patient's specific situation. For example, a Foley catheter may be left in place for 1 to 2 weeks, while intermittent catheters can be used as needed. It's essential to follow medical guidelines and monitor for any signs of infection or complications. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
