Is there a specific name for a male urinary catheter in which the catheter is inserted into the urethra along the shaft of the penis, rather than into the end (head) or as a superpubic insertion?

Yes There Is

I believe it is referred to as a uretha catheter. Also I believe Foley catheter is used.
