Clean intermittent catheterization refers to a method of regularly emptying urine by inserting a catheter into the bladder through the urethra under clean conditions. The definition of "clean" means that all catheterization supplies are thoroughly cleaned, the perineum and urethral meatus are washed with clean water (no disinfection required), and hands are scrubbed with soap or hand sanitizer before catheter insertion. Sterile operation is not necessary.

Currently, intermittent catheters on the market are mainly classified into three categories: uncoated catheters, coated catheters, and closed catheter systems.

When your pet needs a urinary catheter, it's often during a stressful time—an emergency, after surgery, or for a chronic condition. As a pet owner, you want the safest, most comfortable care possible. Beyond the standard options, there is an advanced type of catheter used in human medicine that is becoming more available in veterinary care: the hydrophilic-coated catheter.
