Instructions for removing the catheter
Removal of an indwelling foley catheter is a lot easier than inserting one. All you need to do is to aspirate 10 cc of the saline solution from the injection port. This will loosen the anchorage and make it ready for removal. Gently pull the catheter away from the meatus and discard the catheter and urine bag.

A Foley catheter is a common type of indwelling catheter. It has soft, plastic or rubber tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain the urine. In most cases, your provider will use the smallest catheter that is appropriate.
Chronic indwelling catheters are used to manage urinary retention, especially in the presence of urethral obstruction, and to facilitate healing of incontinence-related skin breakdown. These indwelling foreign bodies become coated and sometimes obstructed by biofilm laden with bacteria and struvite crystals.
