[Performance]

Tubes, balls and connectors are made of silicone rubber. Cytotoxicity≤level 2. No sensitization response or mucous irritation. Oxirane is used for sterilization while residual quantity≤10μg/g.

[Application range]

The catheter can be used to drain urine while double and triple catheter can be used for compressing hemostasis and douching bladder in urologic surgical operation.

[Introduction]

Preparation

According to patient’s physique, operator selects available disposable silica gel catheter. Open the plastic bag and take the catheter out. Then operator disinfects himself/herself and patient. Wearing gloves.

Lubrication

For operator plugging catheter once, the tip and tube of catheter can be lubricated by medical silicone oil or other non-petroleum matrix lubricant.

Plugging

Single lumen: Operator plugs lubricant catheter into urethra and bladder. When some urine discharge, fixing it by bandage for preventing falling off. Patient’s drainage wound should be covered by sterilized gauze to prevent pollution.

Double and triple lumen: Operator plugs lubricant catheter into urethra and bladder. When some urine discharged, plugging deeper for 3~6cm for ball being completely entered bladder.

Injecting water in ball

For double and triple catheters, operator injects sterile water(such as injection water) less than quantity into one-way valve by non-needle injector then slowly pull catheter until inflated ball get stuck by bladder. Douching connector on triple catheter can be opened to douche bladder.

Taking out

Single lumen: ripping off fixed bandage then slowly pulling out catheter.

Double and triple lumen: Firstly, operator drains injected sterile water from ball then slowly pull catheter out, or nip the tube for taking it out after rapidly draining fluids.

Indwelling

The catheter can be indwelt according to doctor’s opinion less than 14 days.
