A medical apparatus for carrying urine from the ureter to an external bag container, is a catheter.
They are usually the same catheter. Intermittent catheterization of the bladder means that a catheter is manually inserted, urine drained and then removed in a short time span usually lasting a few minutes. Indwelling catheter refers to when the catheter is left in place for days, weeks, months or even permanently.
The catheter known as having an open-ended tip is typically referred to as a "Foley catheter," specifically in its design as a urinary catheter. This type of catheter allows for continuous drainage of urine from the bladder due to its open tip, which facilitates flow. Open-ended catheters are often used for various medical procedures and can also be found in other types, such as certain types of central venous catheters.

If the Urine is in the bladder and does not flow, you put a catheter through the urethra.
Urine flows from a catheter due to gravity and the pressure generated by the bladder. When the bladder fills with urine, it contracts, pushing urine through the catheter and into a collection bag. The catheter's design allows for a one-way flow, preventing backflow and ensuring that urine is efficiently drained. Proper positioning and securing of the catheter also help maintain a consistent flow.
A Foley catheter is a tube that is put into the bladder. The point of this is to allow urine to come out of the bladder when a patient is unable to go to the toilet themselves.
Catheter urine is more "sanitary" than regular urine. Because it is collected from the bladder, and doesn't "touch" the external skin, it is less prone to skin contamination.
Urinary catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into a patient's bladder. The catheter is used as a conduit to drain urine from the bladder into an attached bag or container.

Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
Yes, you can inflate a Foley catheter even if there is no urine return. The absence of urine may indicate that the bladder is empty, or there may be an obstruction or other issue preventing urine flow. It's important to ensure that the catheter is correctly positioned and to check for any kinks or blockages in the tubing. If there are persistent concerns about urine return or catheter function, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
If urine begins to flow when a catheter is inserted, it typically indicates that the catheter is correctly placed in the bladder. Ensure that the urine is draining properly into the collection bag, and monitor the color and clarity of the urine for any signs of infection or complications. If there are concerns about the catheter insertion or if urine does not flow as expected, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Always follow the specific protocols and guidelines provided by your healthcare facility.
Urine drainage
Having an air bubble in a urine catheter can be dangerous as it can lead to complications such as blockages, infections, or bladder spasms. It is important to address any concerns with the healthcare provider managing the catheter to prevent potential issues.
