Zusammenfassung:Sensing Foley catheter variations are described herein which may comprise a fluid chamber defining a receiving channel and a port fluidly coupled to a drainage lumen of the catheter such that the receiving channel is in fluid communication with the drainage opening. A 5 pressure sensing mechanism located within the fluid chamber may comprise a pressure sensing mechanism which is configured to detect fluid pressure when body fluid, such as urine, is introduced into the drainage opening of the catheter and is received within the receiving channel and impinges upon the pressure sensing mechanism.
