There are several types of catheters but I'm assuming you mean urinary catheters. It is a device that is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to empty the bladder of urine, (the urine comes out through the tubing of the catheter and empties into a bag. Reusing catheters can be dangerous because of the risk of infection. Any bacteria, germs, etc. that touch or enter the tubing can travel up into the bladder and cause acute and chronic infections. Most people who reuse catheters have to be very careful and must dip the tubing and insertion device in boiling water prior to reusing and the risk is still greater than that with disposable catheters
What else can I help you with?
Can a cathider cause pressure and incognitence?
Yes, a catheter can cause pressure and incontinence in some patients. If the catheter is improperly sized or positioned, it may create discomfort or pressure in the bladder or urethra. Additionally, irritation or infection caused by the catheter can lead to urinary urgency or leakage. It's important for healthcare providers to monitor and manage catheter use to minimize these risks.
