Urethral Catheter Self-Cath® Straight Tip Uncoated PVC 18 Fr – 16 Inch – 418
You will be taught how to insert a urinary catheter into your bladder by a health professional – this can be done in a hospital, clinic, or at home. Urinary catheters are inserted into the bladder at intervals throughout the day, or when you feel the need to go to the toilet. It is sometimes necessary to catheterize during the night as well. Once the urine has drained out, the catheter is removed.
Most people feel apprehensive about performing Intermittent Self Catheterisation. It can be a bit awkward to start with but with practice, you will soon become confident, and your local health care professional will offer you support until you feel able to manage alone. Most people go on to say that they find it easy to self-catheterize after a time.
Types Of Catheters Available
There are three main types of catheters used for ISC and the majority of these are single-use disposable. Some catheters have been designed to be reusable although these are now less common.
Coated
A hydrophilic coating creates a slippery surface around the catheter when run under water before use. The coating allows for easier insertion into the urethra. These are single-use, disposable catheters and are usually made of either PVC or silicone
Non-Coated
The Self-Cath® Straight Tip Catheter these are the traditional intermittent catheter and most are designed to be washed and reused. Silver or stainless steel rigid catheters are only suitable for women due to the length of the urethra.
How Do I Self-Catheterise?
Before use, Urethral Catheter Self-Cath® Straight Tip Uncoated PVC 18 Fr – 16 Inch – 418 should be stored in a dry area, lying flat and straight.
It is very important to wash your hands before touching or inserting the catheter – you may choose to use a fresh baby wipe if there is no wash hand basin in the toilet.
Once you have washed your hands, do not touch anything else except your catheter.
Most catheters have a sticky back patch that allows you to open it and secure it to a surface nearby, such as a wall or sink, making it easier to access when you are ready to insert it into the urethra.
Preparation – For Women
You have to ensure that your vulva (intimate area between your legs) is clean, a daily shower or bath is recommended using a mild soap but when you go out it is useful to keep a small pack of baby wipes in your handbag.
Learn how to insert the catheter while sitting on the toilet or in your wheelchair, when standing, or by putting one foot up onto the toilet seat to enable you to locate your urethra more easily. You can experiment and decide which way feels most comfortable.
If you are a woman and find it hard to locate your urethra, try using a mirror to see where your urine comes out. Once you have done this several times you will probably not need a mirror. You can do it over the bath if it’s easier.
Preparation – For Men
You have to ensure that the area around the tip of the penis is clean. It may be that a daily shower or bath is sufficient but when you go out it is useful to keep a small pack of baby wipes in a pocket to enable you to ensure the area is clean. Men may stand or sit to perform
