Which catheter is designed for intermittent urinary catheterisation and does not have an inflatable balloon?
Correct answer: C. Straight catheter
- A. Foley catheter
- B. Suprapubic catheter
- C. Straight catheter
- D. Three-way catheter
Explanation
A straight catheter is inserted to drain the bladder and then removed, so it has no retention balloon. A Foley catheter remains in place using a balloon, while a three-way catheter is commonly used when continuous bladder irrigation is required.
