Catheters
The Foley catheter is a plastic two-lumen tube with an inflatable
balloon. The balloon is inflated via a small channel.
Suprapubic cystostomy
is an alternative way of draining the urinary bladder. The Malecot catheter is
well suited for this purpose. It is a rubber or latex tube with two wings at
the tip. The de Pezzer catheter is based on a similar principle except that
instead of wings, it has a bulbous end which can be straightened and recoils
back when the wire introducer is removed.
The catheters used are:
• Foley
• Gibbons
• Malecot
• DePezzer
• Tiemann
• Secured tube drains
• Corrugated
