Indwelling “foley” catheter cap
Abstract:
The Foley Catheter Cap molded from medical grade silicone to provide a stable base for the insertion of an indwelling “Foley” catheter so that tearing of the urethra does not occur. Since the head of a penis contains no sweat glands of any kind, there is no buildup of fluids beneath the Foley Catheter Cap to occur which thereby precludes an environment under the Foley Catheter Cap which could be conducive for infections to grow. Because of this the benefits of a Foley Catheter Cap for male patients required to have an indwelling catheter for extended periods of time greatly outweigh any latent risk while the omission of the proposed Foley Catheter Cap exposes male patients to the potential of the well-documented serious injury and follow-on reconstructive surgery caused by Ventral Erosion of the penis.
