More On Self Catherization

Self-Intermittent Catheterization (SIC):

When the bladder does not empty on its own, SIC may be recommended. Self-catheterization should be carried out under medical advice and only in accordance with instructions provided. It involves using a catheter to drain urine from your bladder via the urethra. Urine should be expelled on a regular basis throughout the day to keep the body healthy.
 

How to use Hollister Advance Plus Catheter?

1.			Wash hands with soap and water.
2.			Fully fold back the packaging by peeling down on the clear side of the package.
3.			Remove the red cap from the protective tip of the catheter.
4.			Hold the gel reservoir (without squeezing) in one hand and with the other hand move the catheter forward until the tip of the catheter fills the protective tip. Ensure the catheter does not protrude from the tip.
5.			Lay the catheter on the opened package, so the tip is positioned over the paper, taking care not to contaminate the catheter tip.

For Women
6.		Spread the labia and cleanse around the opening of the urethra with mild, unscented soap or a non-alcoholic wet wipe. If you are using the Advance Plus Kit, use the BZK swabs provided for cleansing.
7.		Continue holding the labia apart with two fingers. Holding the gel reservoir gently, insert the protective tip until the base comes in contact with the urethral opening. Keep the protective tip in place. Release the labia.
8.		The gel reservoir should be held gently in place until the catheter is passed through the urethra and into the bladder. Continue to insert the catheter forward until the urine starts to flow. Once urine has stopped flowing, slowly withdraw the catheter.

For Men
6.		Hold your penis, and pull back the foreskin. Clean the tip of your penis with soap and water or a cleansing wipe. Don’t squeeze the penis too hard. This can block the opening and make it difficult to insert the catheter.
7.		Lift your penis upward and gently insert the protective tip of catheter until the base comes in contact with the opening of your penis. Keep the protective tip in place. Relax the foreskin (if you have one).
8.		Hold the gel reservoir gently in place and advance the catheter until the pee starts to fill the bag. When the pee stops, slowly pull the catheter out. Pee may start to flow a little bit more. That is normal. Just pause and wait for the pee to stop again before removing the catheter.

9.			To empty before disposing of the product, tear the collection bag at the notch to drain the urine into a toilet or other collection device.
10.			The catheter may be disposed of in a wastebasket. Do not flush down the toilet.
11.			Wash hands with mild soap and water.
