Therapy application 

• Suprapubic catheterization is a bladder management method where a catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall into the bladder and maintained in place for continuous urinary drainage.

• The catheter is introduced in the bladder to allow the drainage after surgery, in case of bladder dysfunction or urinary retention
