How Do You Remove a Foley Catheter? - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Removing your Foley catheter involves emptying your Foley bag, deflating the balloon, and removing your catheter. You will need disposable gloves, a syringe for removing the water from the balloon, and a clean cloth or paper towels to clean up spills. Be sure to keep the Foley bag lower than your hips, to allow the urine to drain out of your bladder and into the bag. Step 1. Wash your hands with soap and water, and then dry them. Step 2. Hold the bottom of the Foley bag over a toilet. Step 3. Open the drain valve. Urine will begin draining from the bag. Empty the urine from the bag. Step 4. Close the valve. Step 5. Wash your hands with soap and water again, and then dry them. Step 6. Put on disposable gloves. Step 7. Unclip the catheter from your leg. Step 8. Hold the balloon port tubing in one hand. Firmly push the end of the syringe into the balloon port, and twist until you make a tight connection. Water from the balloon begins filling the syringe. Step 9. When the balloon is empty, relax, take a deep breath, and gently pull on the catheter to remove it. Do not pull hard. If gentle pulling does not remove the catheter, contact your healthcare provider.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you prepared.

Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to prevent bed sores..."

"Medical Legal Art has always performed quality and efficient work. The doctors that review the exhibits are always amazed at the precise descriptions and drawings."

"You and your company are wonderful. Your service, turnaround time, quality and price were better than I could have asked for. Please add me to your long list of satisfied customers."

"For us, the defining feature of effective demonstrative evidence is whether, by itself, the piece will tell the story of the case. Medical legal Art provides our firm with illustrations and animations that are clear and persuasive. Their exhibits tell the story in a way that allows the jury to understand a very complex subject, very quickly."
