Foley catheters (developed by Dr. Foley in the 1930's) are meant for longer term use by patients who are unable to use the toilet themselves. Straight catheters are simply straight tubes (without the balloon feature of a Foley catheter). They are meant for quick drainage of the bladder and not for long term use.
In general, the catheter stays in for 1-2 weeks. If the catheter is taken out early, the urethra will likely close again, you will be again unable to pee, and you will need to return to the ER to have another catheter inserted.
