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. |
