Foley
catheters are the most commonly used devices for managing urinary
incontinence. The design of Foley catheters has not fundamentally
changed over the time, although device manufacturers have introduced
several modification to lessen the risk of trauma and infection
associated with Foley catheters. Improvements in materials have been
made from the original latex rubber to silicone and a variety of
coatings such as Teflon and hydrogel have been used. The size and
shape of the drainage eyes have been modified to enhance urine flow
and reduce clogging. Antiseptic and antibiotic coatings on catheters
have also been applied to combat the bacteria introduced into the
bladder by the catheter. However, the results of these changes have
been inconclusive and the Foley catheter design is believed to be a
major cause for many of the complications, including urinary tract
infections (UTIs), bladder spasms, cystitis, and possibly an
increased risk of bladder cancer.
