What is Indwelling Catheters Market?
Indwelling catheters, also known as Foley catheters, are flexible tubes that pass through the urethra and bladder to allow easy drainage of urine. They are considered essential in the urological field as they help patients with bladder dysfunction to drain urine into urine bags and reduce urology-related complications. Foley catheters are primarily used when a person has difficulty releasing urine, such as when urinating the urinary incontinence, urinary retention, or when a patient has had surgery related to the prostate or genitals. The other devices that are connected externally have their collective roles such as the bag and drainage tube and are directly connected to the catheter. It also has a catheter valve for emptying the bladder. The indwelling catheters can be placed for a short time or even for a longer period, depending on the requirements and the patient's condition. The conditions in which the indwelling catheters are used include dementia, persistent urinary incontinence and the inability of the bladder to retain urine, and other conditions in which the muscles of the urinary bladder are affected.
