GH₵ 60 · Korle Gonno

Foley catheter (silicone-coated) 
A silicone-coated Foley catheter is used for continuous drainage of urine from the bladder.
Main uses:
	•	Urinary retention (patient unable to pass urine)
	•	Monitoring urine output (ICU, post-surgery)
	•	During and after surgery
	•	Long-term catheterization (better tolerance than plain latex)
	•	Bladder irrigation (if 3-way type)
Why silicone-coated?
	•	Less irritation to the urethra
	•	Lower risk of allergy compared to pure latex
	•	Smoother surface, reduces encrustation
	•	More suitable for medium to long-term use
It has a balloon at the tip that is inflated with sterile water to keep it in place inside the bladder.
