They are essential in various medical treatments, including emptying the bladder, giving medications or fluids, measuring bodily functions such as blood pressure in veins or arteries, and examining and treating heart conditions. Proper use and maintenance of catheters are crucial to prevent infections and make sure that treatment is effective.
