An indwelling catheter is inserted to facilitate the continuous drainage of urine from the bladder, which is particularly useful in patients with urinary retention, those undergoing certain surgeries, or individuals with specific medical conditions that impair normal urination. It can also be used to accurately measure urine output in critically ill patients. Additionally, it helps manage bladder control in patients with neurological disorders or other conditions affecting bladder function.
