Urinary catheterization is the use of flexible tubes called urinary catheters to drain the bladder and collect urine in those who have trouble peeing spontaneously. Some disorders, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder cancer, and urinary incontinence, block urine flow and necessitate catheterization to pass pee. Furthermore, these items are used to empty the bladder before and after surgery, as well as to aid in the performance of specific tests. A rise in the frequency of various urinary illnesses among the population, as well as an increase in surgical operations, are a few of the reasons driving the growth of the Europe urinary catheters market.
