What is a suprapubic catheter? A suprapubic catheter is a thin, sterile tube used to drain urine from your bladder when you cannot urinate. This type of catheter is used if you aren't able to use a catheter that is inserted into the urethra. The urethra carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
This type of catheter can be inserted through the urethra or can be used as a suprapubic catheter, meaning it is inserted into a small hole in the lower abdomen. (Surgery is required for the suprapubic catheter.) A balloon is inflated in order to prevent the catheter from coming out of the body.
