The Foley balloon catheter has been used in the management of posterior epistaxis for several decades. Despite a lack of uniformity in balloon use, it is frequently successful in arresting haemorrhage. A better understanding of the balloon's characteristics may further increase its effectiveness by more appropriate use in some individuals. Inflation characteristics were assessed in vitro by measurement of balloon length and diameter at various inflation volumes. Deflation of air-filled balloons was found to be consistent for each balloon type. The deflation rate was unaffected when BIPP (bismuth-iodoform-paraffin paste) or liquid paraffin soaked gauze were applied to the catheter. Recommendations for catheter use are made.
福勒氏球囊导管已用于治疗后鼻孔出血数十年。尽管球囊的使用缺乏一致性，但它在止血方面常常取得成功。更好地了解球囊的特性可能会通过在某些个体中更恰当地使用来进一步提高其有效性。通过测量不同充气量时球囊的长度和直径，在体外评估了充气特性。发现每种球囊类型的充气气球放气都是一致的。当将BIPP（铋碘仿石蜡糊剂）或液体石蜡浸泡的纱布应用于导管时，放气速率不受影响。文中给出了导管使用的建议。
