Most catheters have a small port located on the catheterâs tubing near the end of the catheter that is attached to the collection bag. To obtain a sample, cleanse the port using an alcohol swab. Then, using a sterile syringe, withdraw a sample of urine directly from the tubing of the catheter.
The urine drains into a sterile container, and the catheter is removed. Rarely, your provider may collect a urine sample by inserting a needle through the skin of your lower abdomen into your bladder. The urine is taken to a lab to determine which, if any, bacteria or yeast are present in the urine. This takes 24 to 48 hours.
