A catheter is a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into a body cavity, particularly the bladder, for removing fluid. One type of catheter is called a Foley catheter. Upon inserting it into the urinary bladder, a small balloon at the tip inflates to anchor it inside the bladder. Once secured, it stays in place until after suctioning out the water in the balloon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses of catheter tip syringe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo inflate the balloon of the Foley catheter by injecting fluid into it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo deflate the balloon of the Foley catheter by aspirating the fluid placed inside it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo flush the catheter with liquid to remove an obstruction or to clean it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo inject fluid, medications, or authorized feedings through the nasogastric tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo flush fluid into the nasogastric duct to remove the obstruction or clean it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo inject air through the nasogastric tube to determine if the device’s tip is inside the stomach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo aspirate the fluid content of the stomach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo irrigate a wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Optum Health Pharmacy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50668067225900,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/6895\/7484\/files\/catheter.jpg?v=1779107527","url":"https:\/\/optumhealthpharmacy.africa\/products\/catheter-tip-syringe-50ml","provider":"Optum Health Pharmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
