More On Apogee Plus Intermittent Catheter

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.

Application Instructions for Female:
 

		1. Wash hands with mild soap and water.
		2. Fully fold back the packaging by peeling down on the clear side of the package.
		3. Remove the blue cap from the protective tip of the catheter. Advance the catheter into the protective tip. Do not advance the catheter past the end of the protective tip.
		4. Spread the inner labia apart and clean the urethral opening and surrounding area with mild, unscented soap or a non-alcoholic wet wipe. If you are using the Apogee Plus kit, use the PVP swabsticks provided for cleansing.
		5. While holding labia apart, grasp the catheter just below the base of the protective tip and insert the protective tip into the urethral opening. Advance the catheter until urine starts to flow.
		6. When the urine flow stops, slowly pull the catheter out to capture any urine remaining in the bladder.
		7. To empty before disposing the product, tear the bag at the perforation and pour urine into a toilet or other collection device.
		8. The catheter may be disposed of in a waste bin. Do not flush down toilet. Wash hands with mild soap and water.

		5. With one hand, hold the penis in an upward position at the base of the glans. With the other hand, grasp the catheter below the base of the protective tip and insert the protective tip into the urethral opening. Advance the catheter until urine starts to flow.
