Can anyone explain the differences between 30cc and 5cc catheter balloons? I get that the balloons have different capacities, but wondered if anyone could give insight to the benefits/differences between the two.
During episodes of urinary retention, I have to have a Foley catheter in, and after spasms, my urologist had me try a foley with a 30 cc balloon. Overall, I like it. But I just wasn't sure besides being a bigger balloon, what the difference was.
