How many people in the US have to use a suprapubic catheter?
The exact number of people in the U.S. using a suprapubic catheter is not widely published, but estimates suggest that thousands of individuals rely on this type of catheter, particularly those with long-term urinary retention or bladder dysfunction. Suprapubic catheters are often used in patients who require long-term urinary management due to conditions like spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders. The prevalence can vary based on factors such as healthcare access and specific medical conditions.

What is a suprapubic catheter?
A Suprapubic Catheter is a urine drainage catheter which is inserted into the bladder so that urine can be drained out, usually when the normal way out for the urine is blocked. Instead of being passed up through the urethra as is usual, the supra pubic catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall just above the pubic bone and into the bladder. This is a minor surgical procedure and involves giving a local anaesthetic injected around the area before the insertion. More often, this procedure is carried out as part of a larger surgical procedure, ie. Prostatectomy, and will be inserted in the operating theatre when you are asleep. The medical term for "above" is "supra" hence Suprapubic, "above the pubic", in this case it is refering to where it is positioned. This can be a long term solution. Hope this helps.

Can a foley catheter balloon fall out of the bladder?
No, a foley catheter balloon is designed to stay inflated inside the bladder to prevent it from falling out unintentionally. If the balloon were to deflate or malfunction, it could potentially lead to the catheter slipping out of the bladder.
What is an instrument used to inspect the urinary bladder?
The most commonly used device for urinary catheterization is the transurethral catheter which is a flexible tubing that is passed through the urethra until the tip is within the bladder and urine flow is established. The Foley catheter has a balloon at the tip which can be inflated with water to prevent the catheter from dislodging spontaneously. In emergency situations where a catheter cannot be passed transurethrally either because of severe obstruction or risk of further urinary tract injury, such as with an acute pelvic fracture with an associated urethral laceration, a suprapubic catheter can be passed into the bladder through a small incision made in the skin above the pubic bone.
