More On Hollister Apogee IC Intermittent Catheter

Self-Intermittent Catheterization (SIC):

When the bladder does not empty on its own, SIC may be recommended. 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 Lubricate a Catheter?

		Tear off top of lubricant packet (or open tube of lubricant) and apply lubricant to the tip and along the length of the catheter. Take care not to touch tip of catheter. OR
		Tear off each end of the lubricant packet, insert catheter through the packet, and slide back and forth.

Application Instructions For Female:

		1. Wash hands with mild soap and water. Apply lubrication to catheter on the end with drainage eyelets.
		2. With one hand, spread the labia. Wash the area around the urethral opening above the vagina thoroughly with soap and water, or a towelette.
		3. With your other hand ensure the catheter funnel, or open end, is directed into the toilet or collection receptacle. Insert the Hollister Intermittent Catheter into the urethral opening.
		4. When urine drainage is complete, slowly remove the catheter and discard properly. Wash hands.

Application Instructions For Male:

		1. Wash hands with mild soap and water. Apply lubrication to catheter on the end with drainage eyelets.
		2. Pull back foreskin, if present, and clean urethral opening and then the glans of the penis with soap and water, or a towelette.
		3. With one hand, hold your penis upward. Ensure the funnel, or open end, is directed into a collection receptacle or toilet. Insert the catheter into the urethral opening.
