• Cure Catheter™ Straight Tip Uncoated PVC 18Fr equipment so it is within easy reach. Open the water soluble lubricant and catheter package. The package may open from both ends for ease of use.
• Apply a liberal amount of lubricant to the tip and first several inches of the catheter.
• Position yourself comfortably. Arrange clothing so it is out of the way.
• If sitting on the toilet, spread your legs apart. If lying down, knees can be straight or bent.
• Hold the penis upright on the sides so that the urethra is not pinched.
• Retract the foreskin if the penis is uncircumcised.
• Wash the glans penis from the urethral opening (tip) to the base of the glans with soap, water and washcloth or unscented disposable wipe.
• Wash with a circular motion from the tip outward.

Instructions for Men continued

While holding the penis upright with one hand at a 45 to 60-degree angle from the body slowly
insert the lubricated catheter into the penis using your dominant hand gently slide the catheter
until you meet resistance at the urethral sphincters do not pull the catheter in and out when you meet resistance just apply gentle but firm continuous pressure until the catheter advances into the bladder.

Insert the Cure Catheter™ until urine begins to flow.

If you are standing in front of the toilet or sitting on it with legs spread apart  the urine can drain into the toilet if you are lying down place the funnel end of the catheter into a container to collect the urine hold it in place
until urine stops flowing.

Continued

When urine stops flowing, slowly rotate the catheter between your fingers while withdrawing
the catheter. If urine starts to flow again when withdrawing the catheter, stop each time it
flows and let the urine drain. Continue to slowly withdraw until the bladder is
Empty and the catheter is removed. If you are uncircumcised, make sure you bring the foreskin back over the glans penis when you are finished. Some men have very tight sphincters or an enlarged prostate which makes it difficult to pass the catheter into the bladder.

A catheter with a special, curved (Coude) tip may make passing the catheter easier.
