How to use Exo-Cath Male Catheter
Applying the External Catheter
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Wash the penis with soap and water. Rinse and dry.
NOTE: Wait 15-20 minutes after a bath or shower to allow for complete drying before application.
- With scissors, trim hair on the penis and its base to prevent hair from sticking to adhesive.
NOTE: You can also tear a small hole in the center of a paper towel and slip it over the penis to the base to keep the hair out of the way.
- Make sure there is no redness or irritation on the penis.
- If you are uncircumcised, make sure foreskin is pulled back to its natural position.
- If using a skin protective wipe to increase adherence and make the catheter easier to remove, apply it and allow it to dry.
Double Sides Adhesive Strip
- Applied to the skin, Inside Catheter
- Remove the paper liner from only one side of the adhesive foam strip.
- Starting just behind the head of the penis, with adhesive side down, begin to wrap the tape on the penis shaft.
- Remove the paper liner from the second side of the adhesive foam strip, and continue applying the adhesive in a spiral fashion, making sure to overlap slightly.
Caution: Do not apply too tightly - doing so will restrict circulation.
- Place catheter over the head of the penis, leaving about 1 to 1.5 inches of space between the tip of the penis and the end of the external catheter.
- Unroll the catheter sheath down the entire penis shaft, pressing sheath to the adhesive and for secure fit.
Removing the External Catheter
- Wet a washcloth with warm water (avoid using hot water). Apply to the penis and hold for a few minutes to allow for the adhesive to begin releasing.
- Remove external catheter by rolling off. Adhesive often comes off with the catheter when removed.
- Wash the penis with soap and water and/or skin protectant to remove any remaining adhesive.
Note: Do not use adhesive removers that contain solvents. These are harsh on the skin and can result in skin chapping or cracking.
- Wash hands with soap and water.
