A straight catheter is a thin, hollow tube that is inserted through the urethra (the opening where urine exits the body) into the bladder to drain urine. This procedure may be needed if a patient has difficulty urinating on their own due to injury, surgery, nerve problems, or other medical conditions. During the procedure, a healthcare provider will clean the area and gently guide the catheter into the bladder, and once urine drains, the catheter is typically removed right away.
