==Etymology==
"Catheter" (from [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] {{lang|grc|καθετήρ}} ''kathetḗr'') comes from the Greek verb {{lang|grc|καθίεμαι}} ''kathíemai'', meaning "to thrust into" or "to send down" because the catheter allowed fluid to be "sent down" from the body.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Urinary catheters: history, current status, adverse events and research agenda|first1=Roger C.

===Catheters used in interventional procedures===
Depending on the mechanical characteristics required, assorted polymers and polymer-metal composites can be used to build catheters used for interventional purposes. Common materials include polyamide (nylon), polyether block amide, polyuerathane, polyethylene terephthalate, and [[polyimide]]s. These materials are often used in combination with each other and are frequently layered on top of stainless steel braiding, laser-cut stainless steel tubing, or other scaffold-like structures to impart desirable handling characteristics to the catheter, all dependent on the intended application. For example, the materials and the architectures used to manufacture vascular catheters for
Guiding catheters (catheters that guides angioplasty balloons and stents) is made up of [[polytetrafluoroethylene]] (PTFE) innermost layer which is lubricious, followed by [[stainless steel]] braid wire outer layer which helps to provide support for the catheter and prevent kinking while travelling through blood vessels, and [[Nylon]] elastomer outermost layer which provides extra support for the catheter and preserve the curvature of the catheter while passing through tortuous vessels.<ref name="Ali 2012">{{Cite journal |last1=Ali |first1=Ronan |last2=Lecturer in Adult Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad |last3=Greenbaum |first3=Adam B |last4=Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, US |last5=Kugelmass |first5=Aaron D |last6=Chief of Cardiology and Medical Director, Heart and Vascular Program, Baystate Medical Center, 759 Chestnut Street, Springfield, Massachusetts, US.

There is no difference in achieving adequacy of blood flow, period of catheter usage, infection, and thromboembolism risk whether the dialysis catheter has step-tip, split-tip, or symmetrical tip.<ref name="pmid30905366">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ling XC, Lu HP, Loh EW, Lin YK, Li YS, Lin CH, Ko YC, Wu MY, Lin YF, Tam KW | title = A systematic review and meta-analysis of the comparison of performance among step-tip, split-tip, and symmetrical-tip hemodialysis catheters | journal = Journal of Vascular Surgery | volume = 69 | issue = 4 | pages = 1282–1292 | date = April 2019 | pmid = 30905366 | doi = 10.1016/j.jvs.2018.09.029 | s2cid = 85497739 | url = }}</ref> Palidrome catheter is superior to Permcath catheter in terms of maximum blood flow, dialysis
