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.

When you have an indwelling catheter, urine is drained directly from the bladder through the catheter into a collection bag.

This setup minimizes the need for frequent bathroom trips and helps manage urinary output, especially in individuals with mobility issues or certain medical conditions. Proper care of both the catheter and the bag is essential to prevent infection and ensure effective drainage.
