TEMPORARY CATHETER
Temporary Catheter (ContiCath) is a procedure used for the treatment of temporary, reversible, postoperative urinary retention.
PERM CATHETER
A Permacath is a piece of plastic tubing ,the permacath has a cuff that holds the catheter in place and acts as a barrier to infection. The cuff is underneath the skin and cannot be seen.
PORT-A- CATHETER
A device used to draw blood and give treatments, including intravenous fluids, drugs, or blood transfusions. The port is placed under the skin, usually in the chest. It is attached to a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) that is guided (threaded) into a large vein above the right side of the heart called the superior vena cava. A port-a-cath may stay in place for many weeks or months. A needle is inserted through the skin into the port to draw blood or give fluids.
PICC LINE PLACEMENT
PICC LINE PLACEMENT
A Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC or PIC line), less commonly called a Percutaneous Indwelling Central Catheter, is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., for long chemotherapy regimens, extended antibiotic therapy, or total parenteral nutrition) or for administration of substances that should not be done peripherally. It is a catheter that enters the body through the skin (percutaneously) at a peripheral site, extends to the superior vena cava (a central venous trunk), and stays in place (dwells within the veins) for days or weeks.
NEPHROSTOMY
NEPHROSTOMY
A Nephrostomy is an artificial opening created between the kidney and the skin which allows for the urinary diversion directly from the upper part of the urinary system (renal pelvis). A nephrostomy is a related procedure performed more distally along the urinary system to provide urinary diversion. A catheter is placed through the opening to allow for excretion of urine and drainage into a urine bag.
