Summary: | An improved catheter is described. The catheter may have an inflation lumen reinforced with a metal support, such as a coil, to prevent collapse and deflation of the inflation lumen, while leaving a minimal impact on the size of the catheter. The catheter may be manufactured with a temperature sensing strip permanently integrated into the catheter during the manufacturing process. The temperature sensing strip is able to wirelessly send information regarding a patient's temperature to an external display, where it may be available for viewing by a care provider. Additionally, the drainage lumen of the catheter is preferably coated with a hydrophobic coating or treatment, and/or formed to include a patterned microstructure surface design, such as superhydrophobic patterned surface. |
