Urethral Catheter

Urethral Catheter is inserted into the bladder to drain urine that has no other way of getting out. This process is called urethral catheterization. It can be used to relieve urinary retention, provide irrigation, inject medication and for many other diagnostic purposes. Urinary catheter may be inserted in and out for immediate drainage as in intermittent catheters or can be left inside for long-term drainage as in Foley catheters.
