Insertion of Female Foley Catheter
- Gather equipment.
- Explain procedure to the patient
- Assist patient into supine position with legs spread and feet
together
- Open catheterization kit and catheter
- Prepare sterile field, apply sterile gloves
- Check balloon for patency.
- Generously coat the distal portion (2-5 cm) of the catheter
with lubricant
- Apply sterile drape
- If female, separate labia using non-dominant hand. If male,
hold the penis with the non-dominant hand. Maintain hand position
until preparing to inflate balloon.
- Using dominant hand to handle forceps, cleanse peri-urethral
mucosa with cleansing solution. Cleanse anterior to posterior,
inner to outer, one swipe per swab, discard swab away from sterile
field.
- Pick up catheter with gloved (and still sterile) dominant hand.
Hold end of catheter loosely coiled in palm of dominant hand.
- In the male, lift the penis to a position perpendicular to
patient's body and apply light upward traction (with non-dominant
hand)
- Identify the urinary meatus and gently insert until 1 to 2 inches
beyond where urine is noted
- Inflate balloon, using correct amount of sterile liquid (usually
10 cc but check actual balloon size)
- Gently pull catheter until inflation balloon is snug against
bladder neck
- Connect catheter to drainage system
- Secure catheter to abdomen or thigh, without tension on tubing
- Place drainage bag below level of bladder
- Evaluate catheter function and amount, color, odor, and quality
of urine
- Remove gloves, dispose of equipment appropriately, wash hands
- Document size of catheter inserted, amount of water in balloon,
patient's response to procedure, and assessment of urine
