Just because I suspect confusion: Those would be used to start an IV. Unrelated to urinary catheters. A catheter is just any plastic tube. :)

It's also why it starts bleeding when people simply pull out the catheter.. My grandpa did that. After he did it a few times he had trouble keeping his pee in for the rest of his life.

Edit: I came to make a pun and then forgot about it. Needles to say I'm going to correct that error.

Although sometimes there are things called suprapubic catheters where they place a needle from your abdomen into your bladder in order to drain it in an emergency if a regular catheter is unsuccessful! :D

Some people also have long term supra pubic catheters. They make a permanent fistel/stoma where a supra pubic catheter can be in situ for 6 weeks untill it needs to be exchanged for a new one. Regular nurses can change this catheter. But if a catheter is out by accident a new one needs to be inserted in two to three hours or the Fistel can close up.
