Catheter

A catheter is a thin, flexible tube inserted into the body to drain fluids or deliver medications. Commonly used in medical settings, it can be placed in areas like the bladder to collect urine, or into blood vessels for treatments and monitoring. Catheters help manage medical conditions by providing a direct and controlled way to remove or introduce fluids, often for patient care, diagnostics, or treatment. They are designed to be safe and minimally invasive, with proper hygiene and care vital to prevent infections.
