- Tube: The catheter consists of a flexible tube made of medical-grade materials such as silicone, latex, or polyurethane. The tube is inserted into the urethra and extends into the bladder to allow urine drainage.
- Drainage Holes: Near the tip of the catheter, there are multiple small openings called drainage holes. These holes allow urine to flow from the bladder into the catheter and then into a collection bag.
- Balloon: Some urethral catheters, known as indwelling or Foley catheters, have an inflatable balloon near the tip. Once the catheter is inserted, the balloon is inflated with sterile water or saline to hold the catheter in place within the bladder. The balloon has a valve that allows for inflation and deflation.
- Connector: At the end of the catheter, there is a connector or hub that allows for attachment to a drainage bag or other collection device. The connector may have additional features, such as a swivel mechanism, to prevent kinks or tension on the catheter.
- Lubrication: Urethral catheters often come pre-lubricated to ease insertion into the urethra. The lubrication reduces discomfort and potential damage to the urinary tract.
- Size and Length: Urethral catheters are available in different sizes, usually measured in French units (Fr). The appropriate size is chosen based on factors such as the patient’s age, gender, and medical condition. The length of the catheter can also vary, with longer catheters used for male patients or those with anatomical abnormalities.
