Zusammenfassung:An improved Foley-type catheter which is inflated through the drainage lumen. One-way valves separating both the retention balloon and the drainage lumen eyes from the drainage lumen permit a permanent, flexible and unobstructed construction of the catheter which thus lacks side arms and separate inflation lumen. An alternative arrangement provides for both inflation and deflation of the balloon through both the drainage lumen and a short passageway in the distal end of the catheter.
