Catheterize
To pass a catheter into a body opening or
organ to inject or remove a fluid. A catheter is a flexible, hollow tube that is inserted into
an opening or blood vessel in the body, with the main purpose of allowing fluid to pass
from or into these areas. Catheterize comes from the Greek word "katheter" meaning "to
send down."
