Foley catheters are commonly used as an indwelling catheter to drain the bladder. It has an inflatable balloon near the tip which holds the catheter in place. There are 2 and 3 way Foleys.
The 3 way Foley has an inlet for irrigation.
A Robinson catheter is used for straight drainage of the bladder.
A rectal tube is used to expel flatus from the rectum. The opening at the end of the tubing differentiates it from the Robinson catheter. The clear rectal tube is disposable.
