More On Exo-Cath Male 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.
• Choose the most appropriate method on the following pages to adhere the catheter, based on catheter type, skin condition and clinical recommendation.

• 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 as shown in the illustration.
  Caution: Do not apply too tightly - doing so will restrict circulation.
• Place catheter over the head of the penis as shown in the diagram, leaving about 1 to 1 1/2 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.

• 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 to remove any remaining adhesive and/or skin protectant.
  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.
