Indwelling Catheters

Indwelling catheters, also known as urethral or urinary catheters, are commonly used medical devices designed for continuous urine drainage from the bladder. These flexible tubes are inserted through the urethra and held in place with a balloon inflated using sterile water, making them suitable for long-term use.

Uses for Urethral Catheters

This common type of catheter is frequently indicated for patients in intensive care units, recovering from surgical procedures, with individuals with limited mobility, or individuals experiencing chronic urinary tract issues or urinary retention. It helps manage long-term bladder drainage, preventing overflow and leakage. It is important to understand that while these devices address urinary issues, they also introduce a risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs).

At ATC Medical, we offer a variety of catheterization options and essential accessories, such as urinary drainage bags, to support patients and healthcare professionals in various care settings.

Types of Catheters

Our selection includes silicone and latex catheterization, two-way and three-way models, and different French sizes to meet anatomical and clinical preferences. Each is designed for comfort, adequate drainage, and ease of placement using aseptic technique.

Many models feature hydrophilic coatings for low-friction insertion, which can improve patient comfort and may indirectly help reduce the risk of urethral trauma. We supply these in sterile, single-use packaging to support sterile technique and minimize contamination during clinical procedures.

For best results, pair these with high-quality urinary drainage bags and closed drainage systems, always used under the guidance of a health care provider or with medical team assistance.
