Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Urinary catheters are hollow, partially flexible tubes that collect urine from the bladder. Urinary catheters come in many sizes and types.
There are three main types of catheters including: Indwelling Catheters (Urethral or Suprapubic Catheters), External Catheters (Condom Catheters) and Short-Term (Intermittent) Catheters.
Intermittent catheters are intended to be used to provide an intermittent pathway for short term drainage of fluids from the bladder for either male (Nelaton and Tiemann) and female (Female) or for intravesical instillation.
