What Is a Pediatric Catheter?
The term “pediatric catheter” can apply to any kind of catheter that is designed for use in children. This can include Foley and urinary catheters that may be needed to help children urinate, as well as dialysis catheters, drainage catheters, and others.
Pediatric catheters are a lot like regular adult catheters in terms of their design, the materials used, and the general structure and shape of each one. However, they are usually smaller in diameter and length in order to better-suit the size of a child’s body.
These kinds of catheters can have many different uses, such as treating children with urinary retention or urethra blockages, as well as aiding in removing waste products from the blood or draining bile and other fluids from the body.
They typically consist of a long central tube, which may be divided into two or more channels, or lumens, with a narrow tip at one end for insertion into the body.

How Does a Pediatric Catheter Work?
The way in which pediatric catheters work depends on which kind of pediatric catheter is being used. A pediatric urinary catheter, for example, will need to be lubricated and inserted into the urethra of the patient, pushed into the body until it connects with the bladder, and can then be used to drain urine from the body. Dialysis catheters, meanwhile, are connected to the patient’s bloodstream and a dialysis machine.
Pediatric Catheter Sizes
Since pediatric catheters are used in child patients, they are typically much smaller than regular adult-size catheters. They are measured using the French scale system, with average sizes of pediatric catheters ranging from 2 Fr to 8 Fr. They can also vary in length.
Pediatric Catheter Types
There are various types of pediatric catheters. The most common variety is the Foley catheter, also known as urinary catheter, which can be used to assist urination in children. Other types include dialysis catheters, which are used in conjunction with dialysis machines to regulate and clean the blood, as well as suction catheters, used for drainage.
Pediatric Catheter Uses
There are various potential uses of pediatric catheters. Naturally, as the name implies, these catheters are exclusively used for pediatric purposes in child patients, but can have different purposes. Some of them will make it easier for children to urinate if they are suffering from problems that make it hard to do so, such as mobility issues or certain disorders. Suction pediatric catheters can be used for drainage purposes, while dialysis pediatric catheters are used to cleanse the blood in children who may have kidney or blood problems.

C. R. Bard, Mentor, Covidien, and Edwards Lifesciences are some of the leading suppliers of pediatric catheters.
