What Is a Single Lumen Catheter?
A single lumen catheter, as the name implies, is one that has just one lumen. A lumen, or channel, is the interior space inside the catheter tube which is used for transporting liquids, gases, or surgical devices in or out of the body during medical procedures.
Many catheters have multiple lumens, but there are uses for single lumen catheters, too. They can be used for suction, drainage, or transporting medicines into the body, and it's easy to spot a single lumen catheter due to the fact that it will have just one hole running all the way through the center of the tube.
Single lumen catheters are available in a wide range of types, sizes, materials, and colors. They can be made of polyethylene, polyurethane, and other materials and may be categorized into different types, such as single lumen Groshong catheters, single lumen central venous catheters, and single lumen umbilical catheters, too.

How Does a Single Lumen Catheter Work?
Since they only have one singular lumen, single lumen catheters are relatively simple in their mode of functioning. They can be inserted into various areas around the body, potentially through an opening like the urethra or through an incision into the skin, and fed into position. Once they are in place, they can be used to drain, suck, or transmit fluids or gases in or out of the body, as needed.
Single Lumen Catheter Sizes
Since there are various types of single lumen catheters and various ways in which these devices may be used, they can be found in a wide range of sizes. Some of the most common diameters range from 4 Fr up to 14 Fr, but it is possible to find smaller and larger sizes for different patients and purposes.
Single Lumen Catheter Types
There are different types of single lumen catheter. One example is Groshong catheters, which are designed to be inserted into major veins throughout the body to deliver medicines and IV fluids. There are also other kinds of single lumen central venous catheters that can be used to access different blood vessels for blood monitoring, blood samples, and delivering medicines.
Single Lumen Catheter Uses
There are many potential uses for single lumen catheters. They are most commonly used for delivering IV fluids and medicines into the body's bloodstream. This may be needed in many situations when patients are suffering from diseases and disorders or undergoing different medical procedures that require the use of IV fluids.
