Uses and types of urinary 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.
Indwelling catheters are commonly used in elderly patients with urinary retention, incontinence, pressure ulcers, and cancer, ostensibly for the patient's comfort but sometimes to ease the burden of health care workers. Indwelling catheterization is overused; catheters should be inserted only for specific, well-documented indications.
Indwelling catheters may be used to collect regular urine samples. Indwelling catheters are used with people who lack the muscle control necessary to manage their bladders, such as people with severe spinal cord injuries.

Indwelling urinary catheters An indwelling urinary catheter is inserted in the same way as an intermittent catheter, but the catheter is left in place. The catheter is held in the bladder by a water-filled balloon, which prevents it falling out. These types of catheters are often known as Foley catheters.
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.
Another example of a procedure performed using a natural or artificial opening is the insertion of a Foley catheter (code 0T9B70Z). The Foley catheter is inserted via the urethra (natural opening) into the bladder.
A Foley catheter, lubricated with water-soluble jelly, is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. Once the catheter is passed, the balloon is in the bladder. It is then slowly inflated with about 10cc of water using a syringe. Inflating the balloon should not be painful.
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.
