catheterizes
Tubes a bladder
Catheterizes is the third-person singular form of catheterize, meaning to insert a catheter—a thin flexible tube—into a body cavity or vessel, typically to drain fluid or deliver medication.
Most often this involves inserting a urinary catheter into the bladder: The nurse catheterizes patients who cannot urinate on their own.
