The duration a catheter can remain in a patient depends on the type of catheter and the specific clinical situation. Generally, indwelling urinary catheters are recommended to be replaced every 2 to 4 weeks to minimize the risk of infection. However, some types of catheters, such as those used for long-term access in dialysis or certain treatments, may remain in place for several months with appropriate care and monitoring. Always consult a healthcare professional for individual recommendations.
