Catheterization (urinary) is the insertion of a catheter through the urethra into the urinary bladder for the withdrawal of urine. There are different types of catheters that may be used, and this is to be determined by your physician.

 

• Straight catheters are used for intermittent withdrawals. Intermittent catheterization is considered short-term usage may be used for the following reasons:

  • Obtaining a sterile urine sample for diagnostic evaluation

  • To empty bladder contents when the individual cannot urinate due to urinary retention or bladder obstruction

  • Measuring residual urine after urinating

  • Instilling contrast dye into the bladder for diagnostic studies

  • Emptying the bladder for increased pelvic cavity during labor and delivery, pelvic or abdominal surgery

 

• Indwelling (Foley) catheters are inserted and retained in the bladder for continuous drainage of urine into a closed system.

  • Provided for patients who are terminally ill or severely impaired and cannot physically function to go to the restroom
