    In Canada, if you require a catheter there is no cost. If you want a catheter to avoid surgery and prevent leakage, please be aware that there is a high risk of infection with continual catheter use.

    As in Canada, in the UK catheters are free when prescribed by your GP.

    There are 2 kinds, In- dwelling or Interintermittent. Both types are prescribed for different problems. Why would you want to get a catheter privately?
