Condom Catheter Application Procedure:
It includes the following:
- Place the absorbent pad or bath towel under the individual if you are working in a chair or in bed. Wash the penis using soap and water. Rinse and dry the penis carefully.
- You may want to clip the hair or even shave the area near the base of the penis. Removing hair from this area will keep it from being caught in the condom or the attachment.
- Inspect the penis to make sure it does not have any broken or reddened skin.
- Wash, rinse, and dry your hands.
- Hold the penis at a 90 degree angle from the body. Gently roll the condom over the penis. Leave to 2 inches of the condom catheter at the end of the penis.
- Wrap the sheath holder around the condom at the base of the penis. Do not wrap the sheath holder too tightly because this may stop blood from going to the penis.
- Connect the condom catheter to the tube of the urine bag.
- Make sure the condom is not twisted where it attaches to the catheter.
- If you are using a small leg bag, use the catheter leg strap that came with the kit to secure the urine bag to the leg just below the knee, Leave some slack in the tube so the catheter will not be pulled when the individual moves his leg.
- The urine collecting bag must be placed so that the urine flows downward. If he is in bed you may attach the collecting bag to the bed under the mattress. If he is sitting in a chair, the urine bag may be attached to the chair below the cushion he is sitting on.
