Nelaton catheter, urological, various sizes
A Nelaton catheter is a type of
urological catheter used for draining the bladder. It is a flexible, hollow,
cylindrical tube made of medical-grade materials, such as latex or silicone,
that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. The Nelaton catheter is
typically used for short-term bladder drainage in a hospital or outpatient
setting, such as in cases of urinary retention, incontinence, or prior to
certain medical procedures. The use of a sterile catheter helps to reduce the
risk of infection and other complications associated with catheterization.
