Description

A rectal catheter is a medical device used to administer medications, fluids, or contrast agents into the rectum, typically for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Key features include: - **Design**: Rectal catheters are typically thin, flexible tubes made from medical-grade materials such as latex or silicone. - **Size**: Available in various sizes to accommodate different patient ages and anatomies. - **Lubrication**: Some rectal catheters come pre-lubricated to ease insertion and enhance patient comfort. - **Balloon or Cuff**: Some rectal catheters feature an inflatable balloon or cuff near the tip, which is inflated once inserted to prevent the catheter from slipping out. Rectal catheters are commonly used in medical procedures such as rectal enemas, barium enemas, or rectal administration of medications. They provide a convenient and effective means of delivering substances into the rectum for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
