catheter-based technology

Catheter-based technology involves using thin, flexible tubes called catheters to diagnose and treat various medical conditions, particularly in the heart and blood vessels. These catheters are inserted into the body through a small incision or natural openings, allowing doctors to deliver treatments, take measurements, or perform procedures without the need for major surgery. This minimally invasive approach can reduce recovery time, minimize pain, and lower the risk of complications, making it a preferred method in many medical scenarios, including heart procedures, urinary treatments, and more.
