Nothing brings a tear to your eye like a catheter!

Um...OK!

I've dated two parapalegics...one had an internal balloon catheter...the other had an external... The external kinda' looked like a condom...the internal was held in place (inside) by a small balloon...when he took it out...it made a farting sound... Satisfied?

I have one just like this

Until i had one, i didnt really know what it was.

After i discovered that you can get a condom catheter. I wanna know why i didnt get one of those ones. I got the worst kind.

My mom had that...

Im nearly there, keep going...

Wow, your bladder is a funny shape and in a funny place!






(I never actually knew you could get catheters for things other than the bladder)

They use catheters for more then that too.

Wiki:


* draining urine from the urinary bladder as in urinary catheterization, e.g., the Foley catheter or even when the urethra is damaged as in suprapubic catheterisation.
* drainage of urine from the kidney pelvis by percutaneous nephrostomy[1]
* drainage of fluid collections, e.g. an abdominal abscess
* administration of intravenous fluids, medication or parenteral nutrition with a peripheral venous catheter
* angioplasty, angiography, balloon septostomy, balloon sinuplasty. Often Seldinger technique is used.
* direct measurement of blood pressure in an artery or vein
* direct measurement of intracranial pressure
* administration of anaesthetic medication into the epidural space, the subarachnoid space, or around a major nerve bundle such as the brachial plexus
* subcutaneous administration of insulin or other medications, with the use of an infusion set and insulin pump

A central venous catheter is a conduit for giving drugs or fluids into a large-bore catheter positioned either in a vein near the heart or just inside the atrium. A Swan-Ganz catheter is a special type of catheter placed into the pulmonary artery for measuring pressures in the heart.

A Touhy borst adapter is a medical device used for attaching catheters to various other devices.

A Quinton catheter is a double or triple lumen, external catheter used for hemodialysis.
