What type of catheter is made of a flexible tube with a balloon filled with sterile water at the end to hold it in place in the bladder?
The type of catheter you're describing is known as an indwelling catheter, commonly referred to as a Foley catheter. It consists of a flexible tube and has a balloon at the end that is inflated with sterile water to secure the catheter within the bladder, preventing it from slipping out. This type of catheter is typically used for long-term drainage of urine.
A whistling or sighing sound coming from the lumen?
A whistling or sighing sound coming from the lumen of a catheter could indicate obstruction or partial blockage of the catheter, causing turbulent flow of air or fluid.

If the sound persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, further evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended.

I had 4 stents put in and have to go back next week to have the right side done.
How do you measure drainage density?
Drainage density is typically calculated by dividing the total stream length in a watershed by the area of the watershed. This provides a measure of how well the drainage network is developed within the landscape. Low drainage density indicates less developed drainage patterns, while high drainage density suggests a more well-defined network of streams and rivers.

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.
