What is catheter?
(मूत्रननस्सारकनली)?
The word catheter (Gr. Katheter) means “something inserted.”
“A tube passed into the body for evacuating fluids or injecting them into body
cavities. It may be made of elastic, elastic web, rubber, glass, metalor plastic”.
(Taber’s Medical Dictionary)

Catheters are thin flexible tubes
Soft hollow tube
Inserting into urinary bladder to
drain urine
CATHETERIZATION
“Passage of a catheter into a body
canal or a cavity”
Type of Catheter
POPULAR CATHETERS

•Gibbon’s Catheter
•For male & female (have 2 different size)
•Made of plastic, gives rigidity to catheter, aids it passage
•Its 2 ribbons fix it to genitalia
•Lesser irritant to urethra

•Malecot’sCatheter
•Self retaining,
•Red rubber tube like
•Tip bulbous/winged
•Stretched the bulb &inserted inopeningthat having narrow os
than catheter bulbous tip.
•Use –for drainage in Suprapubic cystostomy, gastrostomies,
cholecystostomies, thoracotomy, close drainage of any cavity

Indication of Urethral Catheterization
22-09-2020Catheter & catheterization-Dr Mahesh Kumar 14
Urine retention-Acute & chronic
Chronic retention of urine with overflow.
Urethral stricture
Urinary incontinence/unable to hold urine
Neurogenic bladder.
Before major surgery
Surgery related with UB & prostate
Patient going to pelvic surgery
Patient going to perineal surgery
For Managemntof incomplete urethral rupture
General Anaethesia
BPH
To drain urine from UB
Indication of Urethral Catheterization
Medical conditions-Bed ridden patient, Commatouspatient, spinalcordinjury, multiple
sclerosis, dementia.
In obstructed laborcases
When wants to measure urine output e.g. in Acute renal failure(ARF).
For urography/cystography investigations
To measure residual urine, bladder capacity, urodynamic
To instill drugs, urinary antiseptic, chemotherapeutic drugs In UB

To drain urine from UB
Method of Catheterization
Be careful
-First of all find actual indication
-Selection of catheter depends on situation in patients, temporary(plain) or for long
time being (Foley, Gibbon),
-Size of catheter chosen on –size of external meatus of urethra, or by own
experience/hit & trial base. On basis of male, female, childhood,
adult.
-Check the balloon of Foley catheter before insertion,

Method of Catheterization
22-09-2020Catheter & catheterization-Dr Mahesh Kumar 17
Be careful
-Always follow aseptic measures as chances of introducing urinary
tract infection during catheterization
-Use with general rule “ NO TOUCH TECHNIQUE”. Take
assistance from staff.
Material required
22-09-2020Catheter & catheterization-Dr Mahesh Kumar 18
Antiseptic solution
Catheter
Surgical gloves of
appropriate size
Anaesthetic &
lubricating agent
Lignoacinejelly
Dressing material -Cut
sheet, cotton, gauze
piece
Clean area/ space-
Minor OT
One Assistance
Methodology
•Clean the local part/ external genitalia with antiseptics
•Draped the patient, only local part exposed
•Clean skin of penis, retract foreskin/prepuce/clean smegma gently
•Push lignocaine jelly 10 ml in penis, close the meatus, gentle rub on undersurface
of penis towards root, wait for a minute.
•Lubricate catheter and insert in urethra gently (hold the penis erect)
•Don’t force, if there is no obstruction it, passes smoothly.
•The urine came from catheter when it reached to UB, push the catheter down and
then start to inflate the bulb of catheter with saline/water.
•Attach the catheter to UROBAG/close container.

Complication of Urinary Catheterization
•SOME OTHER
•Burning sensation at urethral
•Fever, with /without Chills, rigours
•Headache
•Pus in urine/cloudy urine
•Foul smelling of urine.
•Urine leakage /from side of catheter
•hematuria
22-09-2020Catheter & catheterization-Dr Mahesh Kumar 20
Serious complication
•Urethral Haemorrhage/Bleeding
•False tract
•Infection (Ascending, iatrogenic)
•Urethral stricture
•Catheter Blockage
