Catheters should not be cut, as doing so can compromise their function and increase the risk of complications such as infections or improper drainage. Each catheter is designed with specific dimensions and features to ensure safe and effective use. If a catheter needs adjustment, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate alternatives or solutions.
As a last resort, you may cut the catheter just above the inflation port. The water in the balloon will escape from the cut end. Gently pull on the catheter. It should slide out easily.

Depends on what kind of catheter, but I assume you mean the standard Foley (urinary) catheter. Most likely what is causing this is obstruction of the fill lumen by salt that has crystallized out of normal saline. This happens when the balloon is filled with normal saline and not water. Are you able to fill and empty the catheter? If not then most likely it is clogged with salt. Remedy is go see a doctor, they will probably cut the catheter completely in two closer in the middle of the catheter to release the fluid in the balloon and then the catheter should come out.
you cant cut it but it is a type of cut.
To deflate a Foley catheter balloon using scissors, first ensure that you are following proper sterile procedures and have appropriate consent. Carefully locate the catheter's balloon inflation port and use scissors to cut the inflation valve or tubing, allowing the fluid to escape. Be cautious to avoid damaging the catheter itself. After deflation, gently withdraw the catheter while monitoring the patient for any discomfort or complications.
