Catheter

A catheter is a thin tube that is inserted into the body for medical purposes. Its main uses are for draining fluids, delivering medications and medical treatments, and providing access to the bloodstream or organs. Catheters are commonly used in cardiac care, urology, oncology, and general medicine. Their importance lies in their ability to reduce the risk of infections and improve patient comfort during medical procedures. In addition, catheters are used in many medical research areas, providing doctors and scientists with reliable and accurate information about the inner workings of the body.
