3-way Foley balloon catheter is a critical tool in the management of patients requiring continuous bladder irrigation or post-surgical urological care. By offering continuous irrigation, it helps to clear the bladder of potential obstructions, clots, or blood, while maintaining proper drainage and preventing complications like infection or retention. However, as with any medical device, careful monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure optimal function and minimize risks. Proper training for healthcare providers and education for patients and caregivers can go a long way in improving the outcomes associated with the use of this catheter. 3-way Foley balloon catheter is a specialized urinary catheter used primarily for continuous bladder irrigation (CBI). It features three distinct lumens: one for urine drainage, one for balloon inflation, and one for irrigation fluid. The catheter is typically used after bladder or prostate surgeries, in the management of hematuria (blood in the urine), or when there's a need to clear debris, blood clots, or mucus from the bladder. The balloon at the tip of the catheter keeps it securely in place within the bladder.
