Description

A female catheter is a medical device used to drain urine from the bladder when a person is unable to do so naturally. It's inserted into the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, allowing urine to flow out into a collection bag. Key features include: - **Size and Design**: Smaller and more flexible than male catheters to accommodate the female anatomy. - **Material**: Made from medical-grade materials such as silicone or latex. - **Types**: Available in various types, including intermittent catheters for short-term use and indwelling catheters for long-term use. - **Insertion**: Inserted into the urethra by the patient or a healthcare professional. - **Hygiene**: Disposable for single-use to prevent infection and maintain hygiene. Female catheters are commonly used to manage urinary retention, urinary incontinence, or after certain medical procedures or surgeries affecting the bladder or urinary tract. They provide a means for individuals to empty their bladders when they are unable to do so naturally.
