A member asked:
What is the difference between a clean catch specimen or a catherization to check for infection in the bladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your question: Clean catch means you wash the peri urethral tissue and catch the urine in mid stream in a sterile cup. Catheterrized specimen is obtained by putting a catheter in the bladder to obtain a specimen.
