A catheter is a thin, flexible tube inserted into a body cavity or a blood vessel to drain fluid, inject liquid or administer medication.

These devices are used for many different purposes in numerous medical domains. Balloon catheters are employed during angioplasty, when removing gallstones or even for bladder or urethral drainage. More complex versions are used for cardiac ablation, intravascular imaging, measuring arterial blood pressure, among other purposes.

Catheters are made from biocompatible materials to avoid the risk of allergic reaction. Multi-lumen versions have several access channels, allowing them to serve several purposes simultaneously.
