They are also preferred for patients who require long-term catheterization because they are less likely to cause tissue irritation or breakdown. The smooth surface of the catheter also reduces the risk of bacterial adherence, which can help prevent urinary tract infections.

Foley catheters are used for various medical reasons when a patient needs temporary or long-term bladder drainage. Here are some common scenarios where Foley catheters may be used:

Urinary Retention: Foley catheters are often used to relieve urinary retention, a condition where a person is unable to empty their bladder adequately. This can occur due to various factors such as surgery, prostate enlargement, neurological conditions, or other urinary system abnormalities.

Surgery: During certain surgical procedures, particularly those involving the abdomen, pelvis, or genitourinary system, Foley catheters may be inserted to monitor urine output and maintain bladder decompression.

Critical Care: In intensive care units (ICUs) or critical care settings, Foley catheters are frequently used to closely monitor urine output, assess kidney function, and manage fluid balance in critically ill patients.

Incontinence Management: Foley catheters can be used for patients with severe urinary incontinence or those with limited mobility who are unable to use other methods of managing urinary control.

Hygiene and Comfort: In some cases, particularly in end-of-life care or palliative settings, Foley catheters may be used to maintain patient comfort and dignity by managing urinary elimination and reducing the need for frequent toileting.
