A wide variety of catheters exist according to their use. The three main types of catheters are:

Infusion catheters (venous or arterial): allow one or more fluids such as medical solutions to be administered in the body.In this case, the catheter is placed in a vein or artery for ongoing administration to avoid having to constantly prick the patient. Infusions of medical solutions can be prolonged or repeated. For example, during childbirth, a pregnant woman may be placed on an infusion to receive a local anesthetic that will reduce labor pain. The anesthesiologist places the catheter in the epidural space at the bottom of the spine and injects the solution containing the local anesthetic through this tube.
Urine drainage catheters: drain urine from the bladder or kidneys of patients with bladder weakness or who are unable to urinate. This may be due to a calculus, a tumor or the after-effects of surgical treatment. These catheters can be permanent or intermittent. Some are inserted through the urethra, such as a Foley catheter, or directly into the kidney through a percutaneous method, such as a nephrostomy.
Angioplasty catheters: These catheters allow a vessel to be dilated with the balloon attached to the tip. They are mainly used to treat occlusions or arterial stenoses (coronary arteries, peripheral arteries, etc.).
