What are the features of Suprapubic catheters?
The Suprapubic catheter is a thin, sterile tube that can be easily inserted into the body to remove unwanted liquids. It is to be noted that the catheter should be inserted by experts; this is because the Suprapubic catheter is not inserted in the usual way like the normal catheter. It is inserted by making a small cut in the lower belly a little above the pubic bone. It is kept intact by inflating a small balloon inside the belly. The waste liquid from the body is collected by a urine bag which is placed on the thigh of the patients. However, there is a valve in the Suprapubic catheter that can be opened to drain the urine into the toilet or in any other vessel.
It is to be noted that the Suprapubic catheter is used in other applications such as it is used in patients suffering from nerve damage. It is also used in patients suffering from the bladder or urethral trauma. Suprapubic catheters are also used in cases where the patients are advised for long-term catheterization.
