When a urinary catheter is needed
A catheter is placed when the patient cannot empty the bladder alone or when a doctor decides it is needed: after surgery, for bed-bound patients and in some conditions of the urinary tract and the nervous system.
An indwelling catheter is changed at intervals set by the doctor or the manufacturer. We write down the date of the change so you know when the next one is due.
How the visit works
We agree on a time and check which catheter the patient uses: type and size.
At your home we make sure of privacy and prepare the sterile equipment.
We remove the existing catheter and place the new one using sterile technique.
We check that urine drains freely and connect a new bag.
We write down the date of the change.
How to prepare
A new catheter and drainage bag, if you buy them yourself. Tell us the size in advance.
The doctor's order or recommendation, if you have one.
A quiet room and a little time without visitors, for privacy.
What to tell us in advance
Whether the catheter is being placed for the first time or changed.
The type and size of the catheter (printed on the packaging).
When it was last changed.
Whether there is blood in the urine, pain or a fever.
After the change
Keep the bag below the level of the bladder and empty it regularly.
If urine stops draining, or there is severe pain, blood in the urine or a fever, contact a doctor. If the condition worsens suddenly, call 194.
