#Catheterization

[raelemond]

Your sex toy tierlist got me thinking, I scored on 17 items but only because I genuinely have no idea where you even FIND the kinds of sex "toys" I want to try, let alone body safe ones, so as a humble small town kinkster I ask: where on EARTH do you find things like catheters and shock devices and how do you use them safely?

thanks for asking! don't worry, the vast majority of respondents scored between 2 and 8 toys, you're doing great! I'm going to split this ask up into two, so people can filter as desired, given the potential for squick around both of these types of play!

for various legal reasons, I'm going to remind people that this is for educational purposes only. what you do with the information is your responsibility.

for catheters, scalpels, medical staplers/staples, vet wrap, needles, etc, your best resources are:

Medical supply stores

Veterinarian supply stores

Mr. S Leather (they ship!)

Ebay/Amazon (your milage may vary, however, so I would be careful here)

there are a lot of different kinds of catheters, but the two major ones I'm familiar with are the self-insert (intermittent or straight) types which don't have a balloon and are basically straight pieces of plastic ghat go into the urethra, and Foley catheters which do, so they can stay in place without having hands on the outside of the catheter. I'll point you to medical toys dot com, which has a how-to for that play for those with penises, though unfortunately it doesn't use affirming language.

for people with vaginas and/or shorter urethras, I'd take a look here. (same problem as before, it doesn't use affirming language). I also talked to a nurse who said that the hardest thing about catheterizing patients with vaginas is that it's hard to find the urethra; also, age and weight influence this too. the older and/or heavier a patient, the harder it is to find. there are a few different positions you can have people get into to effectively catheterize them, so you might need to experiment!

trans people who are post-bottom surgery, and anyone who's had significant surgery actually, have probably had the experience of having a catheter placed and removed--but this is definitely a question to field to your doctor, or a friendly MD; same goes for intersex people. (I'm going to see if I can ask any of the community nurses or MDs what they'd do and report back, but they might not have experience--for nurse and MD followers who want to, please feel free to chime in)

make sure to pay attention to sanitation, and don't leave a catheter in for too long for play; you're always risking infection with something like this.

The COVID-19 outbreak in the year 2020 was expected to have a negative impact on the guide extension catheter market. This is due to the decrease in the number of coronary surgical procedures. Both coronary angiography and PCI volumes decreased by 64.0% in April 2020 as compared to April 2019 according to NCBI in 2021. However, due to the ease of restriction, countries have resumed elective procedures, suggesting that the market will keep growing during the forecasted period. These qualities are anticipated to create lucrative market growth opportunities.

CVDs have become one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide during the last three decades. As per the CDC in 2021, heart disease is a leading cause of death in both sexes and members of the majority of the racial & ethnic groups in the U.S. Moreover, CVD claims 1 life every 34 seconds in the U.S. Guide extension catheters increase guide back-up support and are crucial in complex PCI procedures. Thus, increasing cases of CVDs globally are anticipated to drive the number of cardiac catheterizations, angioplasty, and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), thereby contributing to the market growth.

Moreover, technological advancements in guide extension catheters can support professionals in identifying patients with a high risk of disease which is anticipated to stimulate market growth. For instance, in May 2019, Medtronic announced the launch of Telescope (TM) Guide Extension Catheter, a newly designed catheter to provide additional backup support and access to distal lesions. As a result, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

(Shouting loud enough for my neighbors to hear) They took my catheter out today, so expect to see me Walkin' Around!!

I didn't stop to appreciate this until now but I went from being so terrified of getting an IV that I asked to be anesthetized before it was placed in 2010 to getting an IV by myself without it being too big a deal in 2024.

Global Cardiac Catheterization Market Projects 7% CAGR with Demand for Outpatient Procedures by 2030

The cardiac catheterization market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period. Major factors driving the growth include the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, growth in the geriatric population, advancements in catheterization technology, increased demand for minimally invasive procedures, adoption of sedentary lifestyles worldwide, and favorable reimbursement policies for cardiac catheterization procedures.

Cardiac catheterization, also known as cardiac cath or heart catheterization, is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into a blood vessel, usually in the groin, arm, or neck, and directing it to the heart. This allows healthcare providers to evaluate heart function, identify blockages in the coronary arteries, measure blood pressure inside the heart, and perform procedures like angioplasty and stent placement.

Advancements in catheterization technology fuel its demand

Advancements in catheterization technology have significantly enhanced the effectiveness, safety, and precision of cardiac procedures. Recent advancements in catheterization technology include:

Advanced Imaging Techniques: The advent of high-definition imaging technologies allows for clearer, more detailed views of the heart's structure and function, facilitating accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments. Techniques such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) provide real-time, high-resolution images from inside the heart and blood vessels, enabling precise interventions.

Robotic-Assisted Catheterization: Robotic technology has improved the precision and accuracy of heart procedures, allowing for better control during complex interventions while minimizing the risk of human error. Robotic-assisted procedures have been shown to enhance the precision of stent placement, reduce procedure times, and minimize radiation exposure to both patients and healthcare providers.

Drug-Eluting Stents: The development of drug-eluting stents has revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease within the realm of cardiac catheterization. Drug-eluting stents (DES) release medication to prevent the re-narrowing of arteries and dissolve over time, reducing long-term complications.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): TAVR allows patients with aortic valve stenosis to receive treatment without the need for open-heart surgery. These advancements in catheterization technology have improved the effectiveness and safety of cardiac interventions and reduced recovery times, enabling patients to return to normal activities much faster.

Rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases drives market growth

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has emerged as a significant global health challenge, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality rates. Lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension have led to a surge in heart-related conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and heart failure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs remain the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 17.9 million deaths in 2019, which represents 32% of all global fatalities. Notably, 85% of these deaths were attributed to heart attacks and strokes, with projections suggesting a potential 90% increase in CVD prevalence between 2025 and 2050. This growing burden has intensified the need for advanced diagnostic and interventional solutions, such as cardiac catheterization, to facilitate early detection and effective treatment. As awareness of cardiovascular health rises and healthcare infrastructure continues to advance, particularly in developing regions, the demand for minimally invasive cardiac procedures is expected to grow, fostering further technological innovations in the field.
