Q: What is a male external catheter used for?
A: A male external catheter is a flexible tube placed over the penis to manage urinary incontinence in men by draining urine into a collection bag. It is an alternative for individuals who can pass urine but have difficulty controlling its release.
Q: How is the catheter applied?
A: Position the catheter over the tip of the penis and unroll the sleeve along the entire length. If an adhesive strip is included, wrap it around the top of the sleeve to secure it, ensuring it is not too tight. Press gently to ensure a good seal.
Q: How long can one wear an external catheter?
A: An external catheter should typically be changed at least once every 24 hours. It is recommended to wash the penis daily between changes.
Q: What is this specific catheter made of?
A: The Sterimed Male External Catheter (SMD 503) is made from natural latex rubber. Some external catheters are also available in silicone, which may be preferred by individuals with sensitive skin.
Q: How do I connect it to a drainage bag?
A: Attach the connector end of the drainage bag's tubing to the tip of the external catheter. Ensure the bag is kept lower than the bladder to allow proper drainage and prevent backflow. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
