Abstract
In some examples, a catheter includes an elongated body defining an injection lumen, a drainage lumen, and an inflation lumen. The elongated body includes an anchoring member positioned on a proximal portion of the elongated body. A sensor is positioned on a distal portion of the elongated body or distal to a distal end of the elongated body. The medical device includes an active valve positioned in or about the drainage lumen The active valve is configured to move between a closed state in which, when a proximal end of the elongated body is positioned in a bladder of a patient, the active valve is configured to retain fluid in the bladder, and an open state in which the active valve enables drainage of fluid from the bladder via the drainage lumen.
