FAQs
- What is a Suprapubic Catheter?
A Suprapubic Catheter is a urinary catheter inserted surgically into the bladder through the lower abdomen. It’s used for long-term urinary drainage, bypassing the urethra, which can be beneficial for certain medical conditions or after surgery.
- Who can benefit from a Suprapubic Catheter?
Individuals who require long-term catheterization but are prone to urethral complications, discomfort, or have difficulty with traditional catheters may benefit from a suprapubic approach.
- Is the procedure for inserting a Suprapubic Catheter complex?
The procedure to insert a suprapubic catheter involves a minor surgical process, typically performed under local or general anaesthesia. It’s generally considered less complicated than many other surgical interventions.
- What are the advantages of a Suprapubic Catheter over a urethral catheter?
Suprapubic catheters are less likely to cause infections or blockages and may be more comfortable for long-term use. They also allow for normal sexual function and easier management of personal hygiene.
- How is the catheter maintenance handled?
Suprapubic catheters require regular cleaning and changing, which can be managed at home with proper instruction or by a healthcare professional. The specific maintenance schedule can be personalised according to the patient’s needs.
