Three-way Foley catheter. Three separate lumens are incorporated within the round shaft of the catheter for drainage of urine, inflation, and introduction of irrigating solutions into the bladder.Gensini coronary catheter a catheter used for coronary arteriography, having an end-hole to accommodate a guidewire or monitor pressure as well as side holes for rapid injection of large volumes of contrast material.Groshong catheter a single or double lumen cardiac catheter inserted into the right atrium with an external port. Unlike the Hickman and Broviac catheters, this type has a valve at the distal end, eliminating the need for clamping and preventing blood from entering it when not in use.Gruentzig balloon catheter a flexible balloon catheter with a short guidewire fixed to the tip, used for dilation of arterial stenoses; the balloon is made of low-compliance plastic to reduce the risk of arterial rupture.hemodialysis catheter a catheter used on a temporary basis for access" >vascular access for hemodialysis; usually some type of central venous catheter.Hickman catheter a type of central venous catheter used for long term administration of substances via the venous system, such as antibiotics, total parenteral nutrition, or chemotherapeutic agents; it can be used for continuous or intermittent administration and may have either a single or a double lumen.indwelling catheter a urethral catheter designed to be held in place to drain urine from the bladder.internal jugular catheter a central venous catheter inserted through the internal jugular vein.Judkins coronary catheter a preformed J-shaped angiographic catheter used in coronary arteriography to cannulate and deliver contrast material to one of the coronary arteries via a percutaneous femoral route.left coronary catheter one designed for coronary arteriography of the left coronary artery.Malecot catheter 1. a two- or four-winged female catheter.2. a tube with an expanded tip that is used for gastrostomy feedings.manometer-tipped catheter one with a small pressure transducer on its tip; used in measuring intravascular or intracardiac pressure.multipurpose catheter 1. a catheter with several functions or applications.2. a catheter for coronary angiography" >angiography that is shaped so that it can be used in either coronary artery.nasal catheter one made of flexible rubber or plastic with several holes near the end; used for the administration of oxygen.
