A catheter is a thin, flexible tube used in medical procedures. It’s inserted into a body cavity, duct, or vessel, often to allow fluids to drain or be injected, or to provide a pathway for other surgical instruments. They’re typically used when unable to urinate or to treat medical conditions such as:
- Blocked flow of urine as a result of bladder stones, blood clots in the urine, or a narrowing of the urethra
- Prostate surgery or surgery in the pelvic area, such as a hip fracture repair or hysterectomy
- Injury to the nerves of the bladder caused by conditions such as Spinal Bifida, CVA, spinal cord injuries and childbirth
- Medications that impair the ability of bladder muscles to squeeze such as antihistamines.
