Prolonged casualty care addresses patients who can't be evacuated inside the golden hour. Over a long hold, urinary retention and bladder obstruction can develop in trauma patients on IV fluids — and inability to void may signal urethral injury or neurogenic bladder from spinal trauma.
What gives a field clinician sterile catheterization capability in a 7 oz package?
This kit assembles every component for a sterile Foley catheter placement in the field. ChloraPrep (chlorhexidine gluconate 2% / isopropyl alcohol 70%) swabsticks are the gold standard for catheter-insertion site prep — superior to betadine or alcohol wipes for reducing catheter-associated UTI risk. The silicone-coated latex Foley reduces mucosal friction on insertion, and the 1000 ml disposable leg bag supports ongoing urine-output monitoring during transport. The fenestrated drape and moisture-proof underpad complete a sterile field even in austere conditions. Catheterization is a provider-scope skill — see the note below.
Provider scope: intended for medics and clinicians whose scope of practice includes urinary catheterization — 18D Special Forces Medics, Navy Corpsmen, Physician Assistants, and advanced EMTs/paramedics. Deploy only within your training, credentialing, and scope of practice.
Why This Kit

When to Deploy Foley Catheter Kit
- Urinary retention in prolonged field care: PFC scenarios exceeding 4+ hours require urinary management — the Foley kit enables provider-level catheterization in field settings.
- Spinal trauma with urinary retention: Penetrating or blunt spinal injury may eliminate voluntary voiding — Foley catheterization is the standard field management.
- Unconscious casualty management: Casualties under anesthesia or unconscious from TBI require continuous urinary management to prevent overdistension.
- Burn casualty management: Accurate urine output monitoring via catheter is essential for fluid resuscitation titration in major burn casualties.
- Surgical preparation in austere environments: Pre-operative catheterization prior to emergency surgical procedures performed in Role 1/2 facilities.
- Prolonged casualty care with IV fluids: Casualties receiving large-volume IV resuscitation require catheterization for output monitoring and bladder management.
Foley catheterization is a provider-scope procedure requiring clinical training and authorization. Application is limited to trained medical personnel (PA, RN, MD, combat medic/18D with authorization) under applicable scope of practice and local protocol.
How Foley Catheter Kit Compares
Foley Catheter vs straight intermittent catheter: Foley catheters are indwelling — they remain in place using an inflatable balloon for continuous drainage. Straight (intermittent) catheters are single-use for one void. In PFC contexts where continuous monitoring is required, Foley catheters are the standard. NAR's Foley kit includes all components for a complete aseptic technique catheterization.
Foley Catheter Kit vs Suprapubic Catheterization Kit: Foley catheterization is the first-line approach when urethral access is possible. Suprapubic catheterization is indicated when urethral injury, obstruction, or severe perineal trauma prevents Foley placement. Both procedures require provider-level training; carry the Foley kit as first-line and the suprapubic kit as the alternative.
Foley Catheter Kit contents: NAR's kit includes all components for a complete sterile field catheterization — catheter, drainage bag, sterile draping, lubricant, and fixation materials. Complete kits eliminate improvised supply sourcing in austere environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What training is required to use the Foley Catheter Kit?
A: Foley catheterization is a provider-scope clinical procedure. Training requirements include: physicians, PAs, and NPs under their respective licenses; registered nurses under nursing scope of practice; combat medics (68W/18D) under TCCC prolonged field care authorization; and EMTs/paramedics under state-specific scope of practice. Training courses covering urinary catheterization include PHTLS, TCCC-Medical, and advanced EMT curricula.
Q: What is included in the NAR Foley Catheter Kit?
A: The NAR Foley Catheter Kit includes a Foley catheter (sized per variant selected), drainage bag, sterile draping, sterile gloves, lubricant, antiseptic, catheter fixation strap, and supporting supplies for a complete aseptic technique catheterization. Full contents are published on the North American Rescue product page.
Q: Is the Foley Catheter Kit compatible with CoTCCC Prolonged Field Care guidelines?
A: Yes. Urinary catheterization is included in CoTCCC Prolonged Field Care guidelines for casualties requiring extended casualty care prior to evacuation. The PFC guidelines specify Foley catheter placement for unconscious casualties, casualties with spinal injuries affecting urinary function, and casualties receiving large-volume IV resuscitation.
Q: Does NAR's Foley Kit have an NSN for military procurement?
A: NAR clinical procedure kits are available through federal supply channels. NSN assignment for the Foley Catheter Kit should be confirmed with North American Rescue or DLA. Contact MED-TAC International for government and institutional procurement support.
Q: What Foley catheter sizes are available in NAR's kit?
A: Foley catheter sizes vary by product variant — typical sizes offered by NAR range from 14Fr to 18Fr for adult applications. Verify the specific size variant before procurement to match clinical requirements. For pediatric applications, confirm pediatric-appropriate sizing with North American Rescue.
