Common uses

  • Continuous bladder drainage during long procedures
  • Accurate urine output monitoring in critical patients
  • Relief of acute urinary retention

Safety notes

  • Maintain strict sterile technique to prevent CAUTI
  • Remove as soon as clinically indicated

Setup instructions

  1. 1
    Verify size (typically 14–16 Fr adult) and patient allergies (latex/iodine)
  2. 2
    Perform hand hygiene and open kit on a flat sterile surface
  3. 3
    Don sterile gloves; establish sterile field with fenestrated drape
  4. 4
    Pre-test the balloon with sterile water before insertion

Troubleshooting

  • No urine return after insertion

    Advance catheter further; palpate bladder; check for kinks.

  • Balloon won't inflate

    Replace catheter — do not force; risk of urethral injury.

  • Leakage around catheter

    Check balloon volume and drainage bag patency.
