My dad was paralyzed and I stopped using Foleys because of the bladder cancer risk but it was too late. I switched to condom-type catheters which I changed daily.
Regarding changing Foleys, different doctors, patients and care givers have various opinions from daily to 4 times a year. I changed my dad’s once a week and used a new leg bag and/or drainage bag every day.
My dad also took the urinary anti-infective drug Mandelamine to help prevent urinary tract infections. If your dad isn’t having infections or other complications, your timing may be good enough.
I would insist on the same person changing it.
Take care,
Jake
