Medline Red Rubber Latex All Purpose Urethral Intermittent Catheter

How to perform Self-Catheterization?

Male Intermittent Self-Catheterization:

• If you are not over a toilet, have a container ready to drain urine into
• Wash hands with soap and water
• Wash or use a disposable wet wipe to cleanse the genitals, pulling the foreskin back and cleansing if uncircumcised
• For a hydrophilic coated catheter, soak the catheter according to the manufacturer instructions
• For an uncoated catheter, apply lubrication jelly to the first 6 inches (15cm) of the catheter
• Choose a comfortable position (standing or sitting)
• Lift the penis gently upward and outward, and hold at about a 60 to 75-degree angle
• Slowly guide the lubricated catheter into the urethra without touching the part of the catheter that is entering the body
• Continue to slide the catheter slowly and smoothly until urine begins to flow; this will happen when about 6 to 8 inches of the catheter have been inserted
• When urine stops flowing, slowly and gently remove the catheter
• Note that additional urine may drain as you are taking out the catheter
• Wipe any remaining lubricant off your penis, and if you are uncircumcised, gently pull your foreskin back into position
• Dispose of the catheter and any packaging
• Wash hands with soap and water
• Note: Some males will benefit from using a coude tip catheter (one with a bent tip) to help maneuver the catheter past the prostate gland

Female Intermittent Self-Catheterization:

• If you are not over a toilet, have a container ready to drain urine into
• Wash hands with soap and water
• Wash or use a disposable wet wipe to cleanse the genitals (from front to back)
• For a hydrophilic coated catheter, soak the catheter according to the manufacturer instructions
• For an uncoated catheter, apply lubrication jelly to the first 3 inches (8cm) of the catheter
• Choose a comfortable position (squatting, sitting on a toilet, standing with one foot on toilet seat, or lying down with knees bent)
• With one hand, spread the labia and find the urethral opening. Initially, a mirror can be helpful. With practice, you should be able to find the urethral opening by touch
• Slowly guide the lubricated catheter into the urethra without touching the part of the catheter that is entering the body
• Continue to slide the catheter slowly and smoothly until urine begins to flow; this will happen when about 3 inches of the catheter have been inserted
• When urine stops flowing, slowly and gently remove the catheter
• Note that additional urine may drain as you are taking out the catheter
• With toilet paper or a fresh cleansing cloth, wipe front to back
• Dispose of the catheter and any packaging
• Wash hands with soap and water

   ease of ordering on line

   ordering for my elderly mom was easy on-line. She was unable to find these catheters in her local pharmacy as before. They were delivered to her new address in a timely fashion.

   Question: Does this catheter taper at the "eye" end (ie at the end that has the holes)?

     Answer: The tip of the cath does taper and that is the same end as the eyes.
