What Is a Urinary Catheter?
A urinary catheter is a flexible tube used to drain urine into a collection bag, essential for individuals unable to urinate independently or with limited mobility. This prevents urine buildup and potential kidney complications.
NDIS support workers may assist with various catheter types, including indwelling, suprapubic & intermittent catheters, ensuring effective care for clients with high intensity support needs.
