ConvaTec GentleCath Female Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter With Water Sachet includes a sterile water sachet, wall attachment and unique no-touch handling strip to provide an intermittent catheter that allows the catheter to be prepared, used and discarded without the need for direct hand contact with the catheter.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Clean the genital area from the front to the back, from the inside to the outside, with soap and water.
Break the sterile water sachet Then let the water run down into the package.
To activate the hydrophilic coating, make sure the catheter is soaked in water for at least 15 seconds. Open the package by peeling the tabs on the connector side.
With one hand, spread the labia (the loose tissue on either side of the urethra) apart and lift it gently upwards. The urethra opening should now be visible.
With the other hand, slowly push the catheter into the urethra until the urine starts to flow. Make sure the funnel end is pointing into a container.
When the urine starts to flow, push the catheter in a little (one or two cms/half an inch) to make sure that it is fully inside the bladder.
To make sure bladder is emptied completely, remove the catheter slowly and stop if more urine starts to flow.
