Clean Self-Intermittent Catheterization Instructions for Women
Most women who perform self-intermittent catheterization sit on the toilet. Other self-intermittent catheterization positions include sitting in a chair or wheelchair or lying down with pillows behind the back. Do what is most comfortable for you to pass the catheter into the urethra. Initially, you may want to use a mirror to help visualize the urethral opening where the catheter is inserted. It may take time for you to locate the proper opening. Eventually, most women learn to catheterize without a mirror.
Before you begin, gather the following materials:
1) Cure Ultra catheter in a sealed package
2) Something to cleanse the area: soap, water, and a washcloth, or unscented disposable wipes
3)Hand towel
4)A container to collect the urine if not cathing while sitting on a toilet
- Inspect the catheter before use. If the catheter or package is damaged do not use it.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, or if not available, use an antibacterial hand cleaner.
- Lay out the equipment so it is within easy reach. Open the Cure Ultra package but do not touch the catheter
- Position yourself comfortably. Arrange clothing out of the way. If sitting on the toilet, spread your legs far apart. If lying down, bend your knees and place your heels together in a “frog-like” position.
- Using the non-dominant hand, separate the labia with the thumb and forefinger to locate the urethra. With the labia separated, wash the urethral area from front to back thoroughly with soap, water, and washcloth or unscented disposable wipe – as instructed by your medical provider. Never go back and forth over the urethral opening. Repeat washing from front to back with the different areas of the washcloth or disposable wipe.
- Remove the catheter from the package, being careful to only touch the colored funnel end.
- Using the non-dominant hand, separate the labia while using the dominant hand, to insert the pre-lubricated Cure Ultra gently into the urethral opening (shown). Continue to insert the catheter about 2 inches or until urine begins to flow.
- If sitting on the toilet, the urine can drain into the toilet. If lying down, place the funnel end of the catheter into a container to collect the urine. Hold it in place until urine stops flowing. Allow the bladder to empty completely.
- When urine stops flowing, slowly rotate the Cure Ultra catheter between your fingers while withdrawing it. If urine starts to flow again, stop withdrawing the catheter and let the urine drain. When the bladder is empty, completely remove the catheter by pinching off the end and pulling it out. This will prevent urine from flowing back into the bladder.
