A catheter is a medical tube inserted into the body to drain fluids or deliver medications.

Catheters come in different materials (silicone, latex, or PVC) and sizes depending on patient needs.

Key Benefits

Catheters must be inserted and maintained under strict hygiene to prevent infections (e.g., urinary tract infections). Use only as directed by a healthcare professional. Monitor for signs of discomfort, leakage, or infection, and consult a medical professional if any complications arise.
