Intermittent Self Catheterisation (ISC) is a simple procedure to empty the bladder. It involves passing a small tube called a Catheter up the urethra (from where urine normally drains) into the bladder to allow the urine to empty.
The type of catheter used is called a Nelaton Catheter. ISC may be undertaken on a short or long term basis.
