Cure Female Straight Intermittent Catheter Without Connector

Female Intermittent Catheterization Instructions:

• Gather needed supplies (catheter, water-soluble lubricant)
• Wash hands with soap and water
• Urinate if you can
• Spread labia and lift up
• Cleanse the urethral opening from front to back
• Remove catheter from package
• Squeeze lubricant on the first 2" to 3" of the catheter that will be going into the urethra. Lubricant must be water-soluble
• Spread labia apart and slowly and gently insert the catheter into the urethra in an upward and backward direction approximately 2", until urine flows
• Allow bladder to empty completely
• Remove the catheter, slowly rotating it as you withdraw. Stop each time more urine drains out
• To completely remove the catheter, pinch off the end and pull it out. This prevents urine from flowing back into the bladder
• Check for any unusual odor and/or cloudy hazy urine
