Foley Catheter Balloon

A foley balloon catheter is a medical instrument that is used to treat diseases of the urinary tract and bladder. It consists of a catheter, which is inserted into the bladder through the urethra, and a balloon, which is located at the end of the catheter.

Foley balloon catheter is used to treat various bladder conditions such as cystitis, bladder stones, urinary tract infections and others. The catheter is inserted into the bladder and the balloon is then filled with fluid, which creates pressure on the bladder. It helps reduce pain and discomfort associated with bladder problems.
