WHAT ARE SUPRAPUBIC CATHETERS?
The patients suffering from the kidney ailments find it difficult to pass the urine and hence the stents and catheters aid in the easy flow of urine removing the blocked kidney stone from the ureter. However, there are cases in which the normal catheters cannot be used and in such cases, the Suprapubic catheters are used to drain the waste liquid from the body.
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.
