Once your urethra is lubricated, the tip of the urinary catheter will be inserted gently into the urethra's opening. Slowly, the catheter will be advanced up the urethra into your bladder. When the catheter tip reaches the bladder, urine will begin to flow down through the catheter tube.
Highly maneuverable surgical catheter and drive system
A catheter device and drive system configured to navigate a catheter through complex, narrow tissue openings, such as lung bronchial tract openings of 3 mm or less. The device includes a proximal catheter portion housing a hollow torque shaft, and a tip catheter portion connected to the proximal portion connected to this torque shaft. The tip position of the catheter is controlled by at least one control cable / tension cable arrangement. The system uses a processor-controlled actuator that acts as a control cable while simultaneously rotating the torque shaft and at least one control cable / tension cable in a 1:1 relationship. The catheter tip is formed by a tool plate, which is equipped with various sensors and other devices and can be connected to the outside via other conduits.
