Sterile Self-Intermittent Catheterization Instructions for Men

1. Inspect the Cure Dextra Closed System before use. If the catheter or package are damaged do not use
2. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or, if not available, an antibacterial hand cleaner
3. Open the Cure Catheter Dextra Closed System
4. Get in a comfortable position. Arrange clothing out of the way. If sitting on the toilet, spread your legs apart. If sitting on a chair or wheelchair, place the underpad in your lap with your legs apart. If lying down, use an underpad. Knees can be straight or bent.
5. Hold the penis upright on the sides so that the urethra is not pinched.
6. 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 and water or baby 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 two different areas of the cloth or wipe.
7. Remove the cap from the introducer tip. DO NOT advance the catheter past the introducer tip yet
8. With your non-dominant hand, hold the penis at a 45 to 60-degree angle from the body. With the dominant hand insert the introducer tip into the urethra. A Support Band, on the bottom side of the collection bag, can give your dominant hand added control and stability. Hold the introducer tip securely in place with the thumb and forefinger of the non-dominant hand, while still grasping the base of the penis with the remaining fingers.
9. Once you have steadied the penis and secured the introducer tip in place, use the dominant hand to hold the Cure Dextra. Slide the Gripper Arrow toward your body with a full stroke so the catheter advances through the introducer tip into the urethra. Once the slider is fully forward, push the Gripper Arrow fully back. The catheter will not retract on the back stroke. Repeat full forward and back motions to advance the catheter
10. Using full strokes, gently advance 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 advance the catheter through the urethra until the catheter reaches the bladder and urine begins to flow. Keep the bottom of the urine bag down to help urine flow
11. When urine stops flowing, slowly withdraw the catheter. If urine starts to flow again when withdrawing the catheter, stop each time it flows and let the urine drain. Then 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
12. To empty the bag, hold it upright and put your fingers in the openings provided at the top of the bag. Pull the finger openings apart to open the drain. Pour out the urine through the opening into the toilet. Dispose of the bag properly.
