Most intermittent catheters are designed for single use and are discarded after each use. This helps reduce the risk of contamination and supports proper hygiene.
Intermittent catheters differ from indwelling (Foley) catheters, which remain in place, and external catheters, which are worn outside the body. Product labeling and healthcare guidance should always be followed when determining how a catheter is used.
