Female catheterization
Preparation

- Take place comfortably, by lying down or sitting with the legs well apart to allow an easy access to the labia.

The cleaning of the intimate part is always done from the front to the back in order to avoid any fecal contamination.
Catheterization
- With one hand, move apart the labia and with the other hand, insert gently the catheter in the urethra until the urine begins to flow.
- Leave the urine to drain until a complete evacuation.
- When the urinary drain stops, apply a pressure on the lower abdomen to ensure that the bladder is completely emptied.
- Remove gently the catheter.
- At the end of your catheterization, get ride of your set or catheter as recommended by the regulation in vigour and wash your hands carefully.
Note:
- Before opening, please check if the product is intact and make sure the lubricant is evenly spread over the catheter by touching the catheter over the packaging.
- For safety and hygienic reasons, we advise you to use the product in shortest possible time after opening
