Uses Of Catheter Tube And Catheter Marking In Medical Industry

Submitted by: Ema Sis

1940 was the year leaded to invent modern disposable catheter tube. In medicine, a catheter tube is a hollow tube that can be inserted into a body cavity or duct inject fluids. The process of inserting a catheter is called catheterization. Catheter tube can admit drainage, administration of fluids or gases, or access by surgical.

These tubes are often using to drain urine from bladder by inserting tube in the urethra, drain fluids from abscesses in other body cavities and organs, open a vein or artery in or near the heart, to measure blood pressure in artery or vein, intracranial pressure in skull etc.. The catheter tubing technique is broadly using angioplasty, angiography, endoscopy, biopsy, balloon septostomy, balloon sinuplasty, cardiac electrophysiology testing, urinary catheterization, administration of intravenous fluids, anesthetic medication, parental nutrition, oxygen or other breathing gases etc..

There are two types of catheter, one is indwelling catheter and other is perm catheter, first one is left inside the body, permanently or temporarily; second one is inserted permanently. Catheters are differentiating as per its application like heart catheters, drainage catheters, urinary catheters or Foley catheters etc.. Heart catheters are usually used for examining the functioning of heart, so heart catheters are inserted into both sides of the heart from arm; using x-ray machine doctors can guide catheter. Drainage catheters are mainly using for draining abscesses, cysts, removing accumulated fluid from chest cavity, lungs, spinal column; catheters are inserting through needle directly into the body. In urinary catheters, catheter tube is inserting in the bladder due to the urinary leakage or any other defects make problem to control urination; in some other cases, catheter tube may be attached over the penis. But, the urinary catheters using by the patients in home should be very careful about to keep the catheter tube clean and sterile.

A marking catheter is made by a flexible, thin material and having a closed distal end and an open proximal end block the transmission of x-rays and make appear it as contrasting images.

Catheter marking is one of the commonly using marking systems in the identification process of multi lumen catheter in medical field. For the identification and visualization of lumens, catheter marking systems are using catheter tubes. The multi lumen brachytherapy devices are mainly making use the features of catheter marking system for the process of marking on a lumen or the composition of lumen. In balloon angioplasty and in the deployment of stents in coronary arteries, catheter marking technique is using for the diagnostic assessment by the determination of positioning of stents.

There are various number of leading companies with extensive experiences in medical catheter tubing industry like medical tubing, single and multi lumen tubing, multi layered tubing etc.; their skilled staffs can ensure an ideal solution for medical catheter need.

Catheterization have got an enormous publicity among the people and doctors because of its accurate indication and examination about whether each human organ are in condition or not.
