How to Use Touchless Plus Red Rubber Catheter?

Male Catheterization With the Bard Touchless Plus Catheter:

1. With one hand, squeeze tabs to keep the insertion tip in place as you use the pull ring to remove the cap. Save cap to close the bag.
2. Slide the pre-lubricated catheter halfway into the insertion tip. You can do this through the bag so your hands do not touch the catheter.
3. Clean the opening to the urethra and the surrounding area with the provided povidone-iodine swabs
4. Holding the penis on the sides, advance the insertion tip into the urethra no further than the base of the insertion tip.
5. Your catheter has a control guide to help stabilize the catheter in the urethra. Grab the guide through the drainage bag with your non-dominant hand. Use your dominant hand to grasp the catheter tube through the bag.
6. Push the catheter into the urethra. Use a short, repetitive pushing motion. Continue to insert the catheter until it reaches the bladder and urine starts to flow.
7. Allow urine to flow freely until the bladder is empty or bag is filled. Make certain the control guide is elevated at least four inches above the lower portion of the bag.
   Precaution – it is recommended that you hold the collection bag, as the weight of the urine could cause the catheter to separate from the collection bag.
8. Withdraw the catheter from the urethra, stopping about three times to let any remaining urine drain. Pinch the end of the catheter prior to pulling it out to keep urine from spilling out of the catheter.
9. Remove the rest of the catheter from the collection bag by pulling it through the insertion tip.
   Note – the catheter is designed to pass through the insertion tip.
10. Close the filled collection bag by replacing the cap over the insertion tip. Make sure the cap snaps on securely.
11. When ready, you can remove the insertion tip to empty the bag. Dispose of the empty bag and packaging in a waste receptacle. Wash your hands with soap and water.
