Urinary Tract Infection: Risk Factors. Persons with indwelling urinary catheters are at much higher risk of becoming sick with urinary tract infections. People with indwelling catheters have a 40x increased risk of becoming bacteremic (bacteria in the bloodstream) from a urinary infection than those who do not have catheters (1).
The Foley catheter is used in almost all cases when an indwelling urinary catheter is required. 1  It consists of a double-lumen rubber tube with a terminal retaining balloon. The larger channel is for drainage of urine, and the smaller is for inflation of the balloon. Some indwelling catheters have a third lumen, for constant bladder irrigation.
