Catheters [14 X 5.5"]

A catheter is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into the body for medical purposes. Catheters are used for a variety of reasons. For example, urinary catheters are used to drain urine from the bladder, while intravenous (IV) catheters are used to deliver fluids and medications directly into the veins. Cardiac catheters are used to diagnose and treat heart conditions, and epidural catheters are used to deliver pain medication during childbirth or surgery. Catheters are generally safe, but there is a risk of infection or other complications, particularly if the catheter is not inserted or maintained properly.
