Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[Le terme cathérer] désignait anciennement tout tube destiné à être introduit dans l'urètre ou la vessie. Actuellement, par extension, on nomme cathéter tout tuyau mince et flexible placé dans un conduit, afin de l'explorer, de l'évacuer ou d'y injecter un produit. Dans ce sens, il est devenu synonyme de sonde. 3, record 4, French, - cath%C3%A9ter
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les termes cathéter, sonde et canules ne sont pas toujours synonymes. En effet, le terme anglais catheter est plus spécifique que le terme français sonde. Seules les sondes creuses, flexibles et de petit calibre correspondent à l'équivalent anglais catheter. Quant à la canule, elle n'est utilisée que pour introduire, et non évacuer, un liquide ou un gaz dans une cavité de l'organisme. 4, record 4, French, - cath%C3%A9ter
