Can a Foley catheter be used for collection of wound drainage?

A Foley Catheter is specifically designed for urinary drainage and is commonly used for this purpose in medical settings. It is not normally used for the collection of wound drainage. There are specific medical devices and techniques used for wound drainage management, such as wound drains, Jackson-Pratt drains, and negative pressure wound therapy systems, which are more appropriate for this purpose.
