Connecting catheters involves attaching a drainage bag or valve to a urinary catheter to collect or drain urine. 

This is typically done for individuals who have difficulty emptying their bladder naturally due to various medical conditions or procedures. 

The connection process can vary based on the type of catheter (intermittent or indwelling) and whether it's a short-term or long-term solution

"Connecting Catheters" does not refer to a single device, but rather to any catheter connected to a drainage system, such as a Foley catheter connected to a drainage bag or a nephrostomy catheter connecting to a leg bag. It can also refer to a new type of wireless, internal urinary catheter (the Connected Catheter System) that uses remote-controlled valves to manage bladder emptying. The specific meaning depends on the context, but it generally involves a catheter with a part that extends outside the body or connects to an internal device for drainage or function.

Common meanings of "Connecting Catheters"

Indwelling Urinary Catheters:

.

These catheters, like Foley catheters, remain in the bladder for a period and are connected to a drainage bag to collect urine. 

Percutaneous Catheters:

.

A nephrostomy catheter connects to an external leg bag to drain urine from the kidney, bypassing a blockage in the ureter. 

The Connected Catheter System:

.

This is a specific, advanced medical device. It is a fully internal, wirelessly controlled system that features a magnetic valve-pump that opens and closes to allow natural bladder emptying. Users control the valve with a wireless remote, eliminating the need for external drainage bags. 

How connecting catheters are used

Urinary management: To drain urine from the bladder or kidney when normal urination is not possible due to conditions like urinary retention, surgery, or paralysis. 

Bladder control: To provide discreet and convenient management of urinary function by allowing natural emptying or continuous drainage. 

Monitoring and treatment: To measure urine output or to deliver medication directly to the bladder.
