Which Catheter Is Right for Your Care Needs?
The right catheter depends on your prescribed method of catheterisation. Indwelling catheters are inserted through the urethra and remain in place for ongoing bladder drainage, while suprapubic catheters are inserted through the lower abdomen when urethral catheterisation isn't appropriate or long-term bladder management is required.
Once a catheter is in place, it is typically connected to a compatible urine collection bag. For everyday mobility, many people use a Leg Bag, while a larger Night Bag is commonly used overnight to provide greater drainage capacity
FAQs
