Intermittent (straight) urinary catheterization is the process of briefly inserting a catheter into the bladder to allow urine to drain. This process, called self-catheterization, can be done by you or with the help of a caregiver. Intermittent urinary catheterization may be used for either short-term or long-term management, based upon individual needs. If catheterization is carried out on a regular basis, your healthcare professional will advise you on the frequency per day. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare professional and the product Instructions for Use (IFU) to ensure safe use.
