Difference between Catheter and Intravenous therapy

Catheter vs. Intravenous therapy

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions. Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers liquid substances directly into a vein (intra- + ven- + -ous).

Cannula

A cannula (from Latin "little reed"; plural cannulae or cannulas) is a tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the delivery or removal of fluid or for the gathering of data.
