1. Length:
- 400mm: The length of the catheter is specified as 400mm, which is
the overall length of the catheter. It is measured in millimeters.
2. Material:
- Standard Latex: The catheter is made of standard latex. Latex is
a common material used in Foley catheters due to its flexibility
and biocompatibility. However, individuals with latex allergies may
need alternatives.
3. Coating:
- Silicone Coated: The catheter is coated with silicone. Silicone
coating provides a smooth surface, reducing friction during
insertion and enhancing patient comfort. Silicone-coated catheters
may also be less likely to cause irritation.
4. Lumens:
- 3 Lumen: The catheter has three lumens or channels. In a 3-way
Foley catheter:
- One lumen is used for inflating and deflating the balloon, which
holds the catheter in place within the bladder.
- The other two lumens are for urinary drainage and irrigation.
This allows healthcare professionals to instill fluids into the
bladder or withdraw urine.
5. Application:
- Urinary Catheterization: This type of catheter is designed for
urinary catheterization, a medical procedure where a catheter is
inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. Foley
catheters are commonly used for both short-term and long-term
catheterization.
6. 3-Way Foley Catheter:
- Three Functions: The term "3-way" indicates that the Foley
catheter has three lumens, enabling it to perform three functions:
continuous drainage of urine, inflation/deflation of the balloon,
and irrigation of the bladder.

What is a 3-way Foley catheter?
3-way Foley catheters are indwelling catheters with three ports -
one for urine drainage, one for Foley balloon inflation and a third
port for bladder irrigation to prevent or manage blood clots.
What are the three channels of a 3-way catheter used for?
Three way catheters have three channels: one for inflation of the
balloon, one for urine drainage and one for connection of
irrigation fluid. After a TURP/TURBT, the 3rd channel may be
spigotted or connected to continuous irrigation.
How many cc does it take to flush a Foley catheter?
Attach a 60cc catheter-tipped syringe to the catheter and pull back
to see if you can suction out sediment or clots. Next, fill the
bladder slowly with 60cc of sterile water or normal saline via the
syringe. Pull back on the syringe and all or most of the fluid
should be drained.
