A suprapubic catheter is a medical device used to drain urine from the bladder. It is inserted through the abdominal wall, just above the pubic bone, and is often recommended for patients who cannot use a regular urinary catheter. This method can be more comfortable and less likely to cause infections compared to other catheter types. The procedure to place a suprapubic catheter is usually done under local anesthesia by a healthcare professional. After insertion, the catheter is secured in place and connected to a drainage bag. Regular care and monitoring are essential to ensure the catheter functions properly and to prevent complications.
