Urinary catheter is flexible tube, generally made up of silicone, latex or polyurethane, inserted through the tube that carries urine to collect the urine in a drainage bag. Urinary catheters are inserted by doctors or nurses through small opening created to a lower abdomen. With increased stress at workplaces and busy lifestyles of the people worldwide, the number of health disorders such as bladder dysfunction, kidney failure, chronic diseases and other disorders have increased significantly. As a result the prevalence of bladder disorders has increased. With rising cases of bladder disorders the usage of urinary catheters to collect the urine to empty the bladders has escalated over the past few years.
