A Silicon Foley’s Catheter, Size 14 French (N 14), is a sterile, flexible tube made of silicone that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine. Foley catheters are indwelling catheters, meaning they remain in the bladder for a period of time, held in place by a small balloon inflated at the tip inside the bladder.
The “Silicon” indicates the material of construction, which is biocompatible and generally well-tolerated for longer-term use compared to latex. “Foley’s” refers to the type of catheter with an inflatable balloon. “CATH” is an abbreviation for catheter, and “N 14” denotes the size in French units (Fr), where 1 Fr is approximately 0.33 mm in diameter.
Size 14 Fr is a common size used for adults. These catheters are used in various medical situations, including urinary retention, incontinence management, postoperative care, and monitoring urine output. Insertion and management of a Foley catheter should be done by trained healthcare professionals to minimize the risk of infection and injury
