Type of catheter named for its inventor, with a balloon at the end inserted into the body. The balloon holds the catheter in place. A Foley is usually inserted through the penis to drain urine after prostate surgery.
A catheter with a balloon on the bladder end. After the catheter is inserted in the bladder, the balloon is inflated with air or fluid so that the catheter cannot pull out but is retained in the bladder as an "indwelling" catheter. Removal is accomplished simply by deflating the balloon and slipping the catheter out.

A catheter is a tubular, flexible surgical instrument for withdrawing fluids from or introducing fluids into a cavity of the body, especially one for introduction into the bladder through the urethra for the withdrawal of urine. A Foley catheter is an indwelling catheter retained in the bladder by a balloon that may be inflated with air or liquid.

A rubber tube placed in the urethra, extending to the bladder, in order to empty the bladder. It is held in place with a small fluid-filled balloon.
A catheter inserted in the penis and threaded through the urethra to the bladder where it is held in place with a tiny, inflated balloon. It removes urine from the bladder and can be used to irrigate the urethra and prevent blood clots.

Foley catheters are flexible (usually latex) tubes that are passed through the urethra during urinary catheterization and into the bladder to drain urine. They are retained by means of a balloon at the tip which is inflated with sterile water. The balloons typically come in two different sizes 5 cc and 30 cc.
