The Silicone Foley Catheter is a medical device used for the routine drainage of urine from the bladder. Silicone foley catheters are widely accepted because of better biocompatibility, and the indwelling period can be 30 days, which can reduce trauma to the urethra caused by repeated intubation.
There are different types of Foley catheters available, including two-way, three-way, and temperature sensors. They come in various sizes, including pediatric sizes, and have different balloon sizes to accommodate different patient needs.
