Foley Cath Insertion
Foley catheter insertion ensures proper urinary management with secure placement. Consumables will be charged as per MRP.
Overview
To drain urine, a thin, flexible tube called a Foley catheter is inserted into the bladder during a medical operation known as “Foley catheter insertion.” To keep the catheter from falling out, a tiny, inflated balloon holds it in place. Urinary management, either short-term or long-term, is frequently accomplished with this treatment.
Purpose of Foley Catheter Insertion
- To relieve urinary retention and prevent bladder damage.
- To allow for healing after surgeries affecting the urinary tract.
- To manage incontinence in patients with limited mobility.
- To monitor and measure urine output for medical assessments.
Puja Homecare ensures a safe, hygienic, and compassionate approach to Foley catheter insertion at home, prioritizing patient comfort and care.
