Catheter Supplies
A catheter is a flexible narrow tube that allows the insertion or extraction of liquids from the human body. For example, if you are unable to urinate, a urinary catheter can help extract urine out of your bladder. Likewise, when drugs are to be inserted directly into your bloodstream, an intravenous catheter will be used to administer those drugs. This is also true for drugs used in chemotherapy and in dire situations such as cardiac arrest.
What Are the Different Types?
There are two major types of catheters – urinary and intravenous. You may need a urinary catheter if you find difficulty urinating throughout the day. A urinary catheter is also used when you are being prepared for surgery. There are a few types of catheters used for collecting urine. A catheter that requires the insertion of a narrow tube into the urethra is the most common type.
An intravenous catheter is used to administer drugs directly into the bloodstream. This is often used in treatments requiring long-term provision of antibiotics or other drugs. It is important to keep areas around the catheter clean.
What to Look Out for
Catheters come with some risks that you should discuss with your doctor and be on the lookout for:
- Infection – marked by redness and tenderness
- Leaks
- Persistent pain
