How do you remove a foley catheter?
A catheter is a tube inserted into the urethra to collect urine from a person's bladder. To insert a Foley catheter, have the patient lie down and, using clean hands inside sterile gloves, apply lubricant to the catheter and insert it into the patient's urethra. Be sure to push the catheter in until urine can be seen within the tube. Connect the tube to a urine collection bag, and then the procedure is complete.
