A vesical catheter is a latex, silicone, or polyurethane made tube recognized as a urinary catheter that is introduced into the bladder by means of the urethra.

Vesical catheter can also be used to introduce medications for treatment or diagnosis of bladder conditions. If the bladder does not completely drained, then urine can build up in the bladder and can lead to pressure in the kidneys. This increased pressure on kidneys can lead to kidney failure, which can be dangerous and result in permanent damage to the kidneys.
