Silicone urinary catheters mainly consist of the following structures and components:
Plastic urine bags, plastic catheters, silicone urinary bags, elastic fixation belts.
Silicone Urinary Drainage Device Application Scope
Suitable for patients with urinary incontinence due to various reasons and long-term bedridden patients.
Silicone Urinary Drainage Device Usage Method
- Adhere the triangular cotton cloth to the front of the abdomen.
- Insert the male penis into the catheter bag. For patients with atrophic penises (those with penis lengths shorter than 3 cm), it is necessary to use atrophic underwear-type products to enclose the testicles and penis together in the catheter bag.
- The female urinary bag covers the external genitalia, and the small protrusion at the lower end of the urinary bag should be placed in the depression of the anus. This is a design based on human body curves, which can prevent the occurrence of leakage of urine during use by female patients. When operating, special attention should be paid to this point.
- The belt: sizes 2.2-3.0 waist can be used. The back straps are wrapped around the sides of the belt from behind, and the adjustment eyes are adjusted to the appropriate position according to the leg size.
- Hang the urine bag next to the bed, and open the cross valve at the bottom when the bag is full to discharge the urine. When going out, fix the urine bag to a suitable position on the lower leg, suitable for use when traveling. Humanized curve design avoids leakage, and the silicone funnel exhaust port is switchable design, which can be opened, closed, or washed as needed. It is breathable and dry, easy to wash (preventing wetness in summer and hot and dry infections), and promotes the rapid emptying of urine.
Silicone Urinary Drainage Device Product Efficacy
Reduce the incidence of pressure sores in bedridden patients, avoid urinary tract infections caused by catheterization, and relieve the suffering of urine soaking. Avoid frequent changing of bedding, reducing the burden on patients and care providers.
Silicone Urinary Drainage Device Usage Precautions
- Tightly contact the penis, urethral opening, and the opening of the silicone urinary bag to prevent urine from leaking.
- Silicone urinary bag is tightly connected to the plastic urethral catheter.
- The urinary catheter should always be positioned so that the plastic tube is lower than the silicone urinary bag, regardless of the patient's position, and it should be avoided for the urinary bag and the plastic tube to be twisted.
- Long-term use, the contact area between the catheter and the skin should remain dry and hygienic.
- Use with caution for individuals allergic to silicone. If any allergic symptoms such as itching of the skin occur, immediately stop using.
- When cleaning the silicone catheter bag, avoid scalding your hands with hot water.
- It is recommended to use two sets or more alternately. Starting from the day of use, the best usage period is 2-3 months, based on hygiene requirements.
Urine Collector Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
How to choose between a senile atrophic urinary catheter and a normal male urinary catheter?
- The aging atrophy type catheter is to put the penis and testicles into the catheter bag.
- The male normal type catheter just puts the penis into the catheter bag.
- If the penis is very small, less than 3cm, the normal type is not suitable, and the elderly atrophy type is needed; on the contrary, if there is no atrophy, use the normal male type.
