Hello everyone,
1) Now in this catheter, how does passing saline through the balloon port inflate the ballon. Are there pores at the end of the tube, which allows fluid to go into the balloon and inflate it.
1) What is the purpose of a 3 way catheter. If you want to clear out an infection I can understand you can send saline through one of the ports, but can't we do the same thing with a 2 way catheter. If we send saline through the balloon port in a 2 way catheter, wouldn't it fill the bladder after inflating the balloon and clear it.
2) Why does a 3 way catheter have 2 ballons as shown in pic.
Thanks :)
