Self-Intermittent Catheterization Instructions for Women:
Most women who perform self-intermittent catheterization sit on the toilet. (The shorter length Cure Twist is ideal for this technique because the shorter catheter is less likely to touch 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 by touch and feel.
- Before you begin, gather the following materials:
1) Cure Twist catheter in a sealed package
2) Something to cleanse the area: soap, water, and a washcloth, or unscented disposable wipes ·
3) A container to collect the urine if not cathing while sitting on a toilet ·
4) Hand towel
- 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. Remove the easy, twist-off cap on the Cure Twist catheter package.
- 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 (shown).
- 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. Never go back and forth over the urethral opening. Repeat washing from front to back with the different areas of the washcloth or throw away wipe.
- With your dominant hand, insert the Cure Twist gently into the urethral opening (shown). Continue to insert the catheter about 2 inches 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.
- When urine stops flowing, slowly rotate the Cure Twist 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, finish removing the catheter.
