Catheter .Steemit update{ 20 Aug 2025}

The picture shows a medical catheter that has been surgically placed in the chest near the shoulder.

This type of catheter is usually used for:

Dialysis catheter: For people whose kidneys no longer work properly. It allows blood to be cleaned by a dialysis machine.

Central venous catheter (CVC): Inserted into a large vein (often jugular or subclavian) to give medications, nutrition, or to take blood regularly.

The two ends with red (blood out) and blue (blood in) caps show that this is a dialysis catheter, where blood leaves the body, passes through a machine for cleaning, and then returns.

➡️ In short: This is a person with a catheter in the chest, mostly used for hemodialysis treatment.
