The frequency of catheter changes depends on the type of catheter and individual needs. Intermittent catheters are typically single-use, indwelling (Foley) catheters are changed on a schedule determined by a healthcare provider, and external catheters are usually replaced regularly based on product use and wear.
Because timing can vary based on the situation and product, it is important to follow product labeling and medical guidance. Regular changes help maintain proper function and reduce the risk of complications.
