B. Braun Actreen Nelaton Female Mini Catheter - All Sizes

A catheter is inserted into a female's bladder through the urethra. The procedure is performed by a healthcare provider and generally involves:

1. Positioning the patient comfortably (lying on her back with knees bent).
   
2. Cleaning the genital area with an antiseptic solution.
   
3. Gently inserting the catheter into the urethra and guiding it to the bladder.
   
4. Inflating the balloon on the catheter (for indwelling types) to keep it in place.
   
5. Attaching a collection bag to the catheter.

This process is usually done in a medical setting to ensure sterility and minimize infection risk.

Various types of catheters are used for female patients:

1. Intermittent Catheters: Short-term, used to empty the bladder and then removed.
   
2. Indwelling Catheters: Left in place for a longer period, usually several days to weeks.
   
3. Foley Catheters: A type of indwelling catheter with a balloon to keep it in place.
   
4. Suprapubic Catheters: Inserted through a surgical incision in the lower abdomen for patients who cannot use urethral catheters.
   
5. Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC): Patient-inserted and removed, used for those who can perform the procedure themselves.

The type used depends on individual needs and healthcare provider recommendations.

Change frequency depends on catheter type and patient needs:

• Indwelling Catheters: Typically changed every 3 to 4 weeks, or sooner if issues arise.
  
• Intermittent Catheters: Generally changed after each use to minimize infection risk.
  
• Closed System Catheters: Can remain in place for several days with a sterile collection bag attached.

Following healthcare provider guidelines and maintaining cleanliness is crucial to reduce infection risk.
