A permanent catheter, often referred to as a long-term catheter, is a medical device inserted into the body to facilitate the continuous drainage of fluids, such as urine, from the bladder. It typically consists of a flexible tube with a balloon at one end that is inflated after insertion to keep it securely in place. The other end is connected to a drainage bag, allowing for the collection of fluid. Permanent catheters are commonly used in patients with conditions that impair normal urination and require long-term management.
