Two-way Foley Catheter consists of a long tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain out urine. One end of the catheter contains drainage eyes and a retention balloon. Retention balloon prevents the catheter from falling out of the bladder. The other end of the Foley catheter contains two connectors. One connector works as a drainage port and helps in draining urine while the other connector is a non-return balloon inflation valve that is used to inflate the retention balloon. Two way Foley catheter is helpful in managing urinary dysfunction.
2 way Foley catheter is made up of a flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra.
The catheter tube has two different lumens or channels, running along its length.
One of the lumen connects to the retention balloon present at the tip of the catheter and has a valve on the outside end of the tube.
Sterile water or normal saline is injected through the valve to inflate the balloon lying inside the bladder. This will keep the catheter from slipping out.
The other lumen has open ends and allows the urine to drain out from the bladder into a urine collection bag.
