Material: These catheters are typically made from medical-grade materials like latex, silicone, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The choice of material can depend on factors like patient allergies and specific medical requirements.

Smooth Surface: The catheter's surface is usually smooth to facilitate atraumatic insertion and minimize discomfort or injury during the procedure.

Side Ports: Some catheters may have side holes near the tip to ensure uniform drainage and to minimize blockages.

Uses of Manzen Nelaton Catheters.

Urinary Catheterization: They are used for the temporary or indwelling drainage of urine in patients who are unable to urinate naturally, typically due to medical conditions or surgery.

Diagnostic Procedures: These catheters can be used for diagnostic purposes, such as collecting urine samples or measuring urine output accurately.

Post-Operative Care: After certain surgical procedures, patients may require urinary catheters to monitor and manage urine output.

Management of Urinary Retention: Manzen Nelaton catheters are utilized to relieve urinary retention, a condition where a patient cannot empty their bladder completely.

Radiological Imaging: They can be used in combination with contrast agents to aid in imaging studies of the urinary tract.

Insertion Technique:

Inserting a Manzen Nelaton catheter should be done by a trained healthcare professional to ensure patient safety and comfort. The basic steps involved in the insertion process are as follows:

Gather Supplies: Prepare the necessary supplies, which include the catheter, lubricant, sterile gloves, a drape, antiseptic solution, and a urine collection bag if necessary.

Patient Preparation: Ensure the patient is in a comfortable position, often lying down with their legs extended and slightly apart. Provide privacy and explain the procedure to the patient.

Sterile Technique: Perform hand hygiene and put on sterile gloves. Use a sterile drape to cover the patient and maintain aseptic conditions.

Catheter Lubrication: Apply a water-soluble lubricant to the catheter's tip to facilitate smooth insertion.

Catheter Insertion: Gently insert the catheter through the urethral opening, advancing it slowly and carefully until urine begins to flow. If resistance is encountered, do not force the catheter.

Secure the Catheter: Once the catheter is in place, secure it with tape or a catheter stabilization device to prevent accidental dislodgment.

Assessment and Documentation: Assess urine flow, check for any complications, and document the procedure, including the date, time, and volume of urine collected.

Potential Complications:

Infection: There is a risk of urinary tract infections associated with catheter use.

Trauma: Improper insertion can lead to urethral or bladder injury.

Obstruction: Catheters may become obstructed, leading to urine retention and discomfort.
