Q: How much length of catheter should be cut distally to send catheter tip for culture?


Answer:
Preferably about 2 inches (5 cm)

After removal of the catheter under aseptic conditions, the distal 2 inches of the catheter should be cut with sterile scissors into a sterile container for transport to the laboratory.
