UMD: Catheters designed to form a passageway from either of the two small reddish glands (Bartholin's glands) on each side of the vaginal orifice to the space where the urethra and the vagina open (vaginal vestibulum). These catheters are short (e.g., 5 cm) plastic tubes; some catheters include a balloon at the tip to ensure retention within the gland. These catheters are used for drainage in the treatment of Bartholin's gland cysts and abscesses.
