HOW TO INSERT AN INDWELLING (FOLEY) URINARY CATHETER The Foley catheter is used in almost all cases when an indwelling urinary catheter is required. 1  It consists of a double-lumen rubber tube with a terminal retaining balloon. The larger channel is for drainage of urine, and the smaller is for inflation of the balloon. Some indwelling catheters have a third lumen, for constant bladder irrigation.

- The catheter should never be forced. If advancing the catheter is difficult within the first 2-4 cm, check that the umbilical tape is not too tight. Also, the entire cord can be pulled toward the neonate’s head to facilitate passage of the catheter at the angle between the cord and the abdominal wall.
