Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - The first recorded bladder catheterization was by Oribasius of Pergamon (325–403 AD) in a description of a fistula surgery. Philip Syng Physick tied Chief Justice Marshall to the bed and introduced instruments through a bladder catheter to break up bladder stones. August Mercer developed the coudé catheter in 1863. The bend near the tip, known as an elbow in French, made passage in a stenosed urethra easier. The current Foley catheter was developed in the 1930s by Urologist Frederick Foley. There have been no major changes in the Foley catheter in over 90 years.
