The duration a catheter can remain in place depends on the type:
– Intermittent catheters are removed and disposed of after each use.
– Indwelling (Foley) catheters can stay in for up to 4 weeks, but should be removed as soon as medically possible to reduce infection risk.
– Suprapubic catheters may be used long-term, but require regular changes every 4-12 weeks, with 4-8 weeks being most common.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance on catheter duration.
