Catheter is a tubular medical device introduced into different body canals, vessels, passage ways and cavities for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. These catheters are made of different types of polymers and inert materials, and are coated with antimicrobial and special substances to avoid infections and other complications. The catheters are used in various medical fields such as neurovascular, cardiovascular, urology and other specialty segments like nephrology, gynecology, and gastroenterology.
