Intermittent catheters are single-use catheters that are inserted temporarily to drain the bladder and then removed. They are one of the three main types of urinary catheters, along with indwelling (Foley) and external catheters.
Unlike Foley catheters, which remain in place, or external catheters, which are worn outside the body, intermittent catheters are used only when needed for bladder emptying. The appropriate type depends on individual needs and product selection.
