Self-Intermittent Catheterization Instructions for Men

Self-intermittent catheterization can be performed standing in front of the toilet, sitting on a chair or wheelchair near a toilet, or laying on an underpad. Do what is most comfortable for you

• Before you begin, gather the following materials:

1) Cure Ultra in a sealed wrapper

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 on or near 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 catheter package. The Cure Ultra package uses a notched opening system that allows for easy, one-piece opening. It also features a proprietary Cover All application process for even distribution of lubricant as the catheter is removed from the package.
• Position yourself comfortably. Arrange clothing 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. Do not wash back and forth over the urethral opening. Repeat the washing two more times with different areas of the washcloth or with a new unscented wipe each time.
• While holding the penis upright with one hand at a 45 to 60-degree angle from the body, slowly insert the pre-lubricated catheter into the penis using your dominant hand. A unique, textured gripper enables you to easily hold and advance the catheter without direct contact.
• 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.
• Continue to insert the 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.
• 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 the catheter 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. If a catheter with a Coude tip is needed, your doctor or nurse will show you how to use it to ensure that the control stripe is oriented correctly for proper insertion.
