Additional Information for Rectal Catheter
Rectal catheters are medical devices used for various purposes related to the rectum and lower gastrointestinal tract. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Rectal catheters are typically made of flexible and soft materials such as latex or silicone. They are designed to be inserted into the rectum for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Here are some common uses of rectal catheters:
1. Enema administration: Rectal catheters are often used to administer enemas, which involve introducing liquid into the rectum to stimulate bowel movements or to deliver medication.
2. Bowel irrigation: In cases of severe constipation or fecal impaction, rectal catheters can be used to irrigate the bowel with water or a specialized solution to help soften and remove the impacted stool.
3. Rectal temperature measurement: Rectal catheters with temperature sensors are used to measure body temperature accurately, especially in infants and young children.
4. Drainage of fluids: Rectal catheters can be used to drain fluids from the rectum or lower gastrointestinal tract, such as in cases of rectal abscesses or fistulas.
5. Diagnostic procedures: Rectal catheters may be used during certain diagnostic procedures, such as rectal manometry, where pressure measurements are taken to assess rectal function.
It's important to note that rectal catheters should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as improper use or insertion can cause discomfort or injury.
