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:
"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."

"This past year, your company prepared three medical illustrations for our cases; two in which we received six figure awards; one in which we received a substantial seven figure award. I believe in large part, the amounts obtained were due to the vivid illustrations of my clients' injuries and the impact on the finder of fact."

"There is nothing like a great graphic depicting the real nature and extent of a victim's injuries to get full value for your client. I use Medical Legal Art for mediations as well as trial."

"We got a defense verdict yesterday! Your exhibit was extremely helpful in showing the jury how unlikely it is to damage all four of the nerve branches which control the sense of taste."
