It may be inserted through the urethra or, in selected patients, through a surgically created opening in the lower abdomen known as a suprapubic route. Urine then drains through the catheter into a collection bag or another prescribed drainage system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"blueprint-prose\"\u003eUrinary catheterisation may be required when a patient cannot empty the bladder normally, needs accurate urine-output monitoring, is undergoing selected surgery or requires another specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. A catheter should be used only for an appropriate clinical indication and should not remain in place longer than needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"blueprint-prose\"\u003eCatheters are available in different types, lengths, tip designs, balloon capacities, materials and French sizes.
