Female urinary catheterization procedure

The main function of the urinary catheter is designed for patients who need to be bedridden for a long time, because this can easily solve the pain of going to the toilet for patients who need to be bedridden for a long time. It can also alleviate the local infection caused by many people who need to use diapers for a long time. When inserting the urinary catheter, it is necessary to judge according to the type and care steps.

1. Ordinary urinary catheter: used for disposable non-indwelling urinary catheterization

2. Fungiform catheter: suprapubic cystostomy and cecum fistula

3. Pointed catheter: prostate hypertrophy

4. Metal catheter: urethral stenosis causes failure of conventional catheterization

5. Balloon catheter: commonly used in clinical practice

Wash your hands to remove germs and prevent infection.

Prepare the following equipment: 1. A pack of cotton sticks, 2. A roll of breathable paper tape, 3. A plastic bag, 4. A bedpan, 5. Physiological saline or boiled water, 6. Betadine disinfectant solution (as needed).

Place the bedpan under the patient's buttocks.

Manually spread your labia or retract your foreskin.

Check for any crusting or unusual drainage or discharge. If so, please inform medical staff.

Fix the catheter in a tic-tac-toe pattern on the inner thigh (for female patients) or lower abdomen (for male patients) with breathable adhesive tape. Change the adhesive site every day to prevent skin damage caused by long-term adhesion or catheter compression.
