Catheters are flexible, thin medical tubes used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes by enabling the passage of fluids into or out of the body. These devices are essential in numerous clinical procedures, including cardiovascular interventions, urinary drainage, drug administration, and minimally invasive surgeries. Catheters may be inserted into the bladder, blood vessels, or body cavities depending on the application and patient condition. They are typically made of medical-grade materials such as silicone, latex, or polyurethane to ensure biocompatibility and patient safety.

Globally, catheter usage has increased due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growing geriatric populations, and the expansion of minimally invasive procedures. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), urinary tract infections related to catheter use remain among the most common healthcare-associated infections, which has prompted advancements in antimicrobial-coated and hydrophilic catheters. These innovations aim to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes.

Catheters are broadly classified into categories such as cardiovascular catheters, urological catheters, intravenous catheters, and neurovascular catheters, each designed to serve a specific clinical purpose. With ongoing investments in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in emerging economies, the global catheter market is poised for sustained growth. Technological advancements in catheter design, such as steerable tips and pressure-sensing capabilities, are further enhancing their safety and precision in clinical use, reinforcing their integral role in modern medicine.
