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 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 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 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.
		6. Spread the labia and cleanse around the opening of the urethra with mild, unscented soap or a non-alcoholic wet wipe. If the user is 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 has passed through the urethra and into the bladder. As the user advance the catheter and the pouch begins to gather, if the user want to pull back the pouch, hold the catheter firmly through the gel reservoir. Continue to insert the catheter forward until the urine starts to flow. Once urine has stopped flowing, slowly withdraw the catheter.
		9. To empty before disposing 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 waste basket. Do not flush down toilet.
		11. Wash hands with mild soap and water.

Application Instructions For Male:

		1. Wash hands with soap and water.
		2. Open the package. Fold back the packaging by peeling on the side that is clear.
		3. Remove the red cap from the protective tip of the catheter.
		4. Hold the gel reservoir in one hand. With the other hand, move the catheter forward until the tip of the catheter moves up into the protective tip. Hint: Do not squeeze the gel reservoir too hard. Also be sure the tip of the catheter does not poke out the top of the protective tip.
		5. Lay the catheter on the opened package, so the tip is positioned over the paper.
		6. Hold penis, and pull back the foreskin (if the suer have one). Clean the tip of penis with soap and water, or a cleansing wipe. Hint: Dont squeeze penis too hard. This can block the opening and make it difficult to insert the catheter.
		7. Lift penis upward. Gently insert the protective tip until the base comes in contact with the opening of penis. Keep the protective tip in place. Relax the foreskin (if the user have one).
		8. Hold the gel reservoir gently in place and advance the catheter until 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. Tear the collection bag at the marked spot at the top and drain the pee into the toilet.
		10. Throw the catheter away in the garbage. Do not flush it down the toilet.
		11. Wash hands again with soap and water.
