A straight or intermittent catheter is a single-lumen catheter that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra only to empty the bladder,and then is removed.Use this type of catheter on a one-time basis,for example,to determine the amount of residual urine in the bladder,or intermittently,when the patient cannot urinate because of a urinary obstruction or a neurological disorder such as spinal cord injury.
