Intermittent catheters are typically used on a schedule based on individual needs and healthcare guidance. They are designed for temporary use and are removed after each use rather than remaining in place.
Unlike indwelling (Foley) catheters, which provide continuous drainage, or external catheters, which collect urine outside the body, intermittent catheters are used periodically throughout the day as needed. The exact frequency can vary depending on the situation and product type.
