4. A catheter is a soft hollow tube, which is passed into the bladder to
drain urine. Catheters are sometimes necessary for people, who for
a variety of reasons, cannot empty their bladder in the usual way,
i.e. passing urine into a toilet or urinal.
5. Chemically inert heat shrink tubing used
specifically as a production aid in the
manufacturing
of catheters, provides security during laser and
thermal welding leading to enhanced
production effi ciencies. Multi-lumen tubing,
which can also be in the form of co-extrusion
and/or
tapered extrusion, off ers tremendous
functional expansion for new developments in
catheters.
Thin-wall heat shrink adhesive lined tubing can
be used in the manufacturing of prototyping
quantities of braided sleeving as well as in
normal production
6. The purpose of the catheter is to allow
urine to drain while the area around the
operation starts to heal. It is usually
removed after about 1-2 weeks but may
be needed for longer. Once the
catheter has been inserted, it is held in
the bladder by a small balloon which is
inflated with sterile water. It is not
stitched into place. Men do worry that
their catheter will fall out – this is very
unlikely although it can happen if it is
accidentally tugged hard.
7. Urethral catheter making machine, urethral
catheter extruder,extruder for urethral catheter
Medical tube extrusion line is used for producing various kinds of
specification medical catheter like perfusion tube, urethral catheter,
central venous catheter, capillary tube, stomach tube, multi-hole tube
11. A significant rise in the ageing
population can significantly affect
the demand for suprapubic
catheters. Urological disorders
are considered as common
problems in elderly people.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia,
urinary incontinence and voiding
dysfunction, nocturia, urinary
tract infections (UTIs), prostate
cancer are the most common
urologic problems observed in the
geriatric population.
