Rectal Balloon Catheter: An Essential Guide To Diagnosis And Treatment
A rectal balloon catheter is a medical device inserted into the rectum for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It consists of a balloon attached to a tube, which is inserted into the rectum and inflated to aid in the diagnosis of fecal incontinence or assist in bowel evacuation. Rectal balloon catheters are commonly used in the management of conditions such as fecal incontinence, impacted stools, chronic constipation, and neurogenic bowel dysfunction.
