Market Overview:

Urinary catheters are thin tube-like medical devices inserted into the urinary bladder through the urethra to drain urine from the bladder. There are different types of catheters available including Foley catheters, intermittent catheters, and external catheters. Foley catheters are balloon-tipped catheters inserted for longer-term use, typically for drainage of urine from the bladder. Intermittent catheters are either single-use or multi-use catheters inserted and removed regularly as per the need of the patient. External catheters are adhered to the penis or urethral opening to drain urine into a collection bag outside the body. Urinary catheters help in treatment conditions such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, prostate enlargement, and spinal cord injury.
