Urinary Catheter Management

From indwelling catheter care to managing complications, our services are diverse.

Indwelling catheter (IDC) care – Long-term catheter inserted into the bladder via the urethra or suprapubic route, requiring regular drainage and monitoring.

Suprapubic catheter care – Catheter inserted through the abdominal wall into the bladder, requiring specialised site and equipment management.

Intermittent catheterisation – Scheduled insertion and removal of a catheter multiple times a day to fully empty the bladder.

Catheter insertion and removal – Performed according to clinical protocols, often requiring aseptic technique and medical order.

Monitoring for urinary tract infections (UTIs) – Observation for signs such as fever, discoloured urine, or discomfort to ensure early detection.

Blockage prevention and management – Regular flushing, hydration, and monitoring of urine output to avoid obstruction.

Securement and hygiene maintenance – Ensuring catheter and tubing are safely positioned and the area is clean to reduce infection risk.

Bag and drainage management – Proper handling of leg bags, overnight bags, and valves to support dignity, mobility, and safety.

Documentation and fluid balance monitoring – Accurate recording of input/output and catheter care tasks as part of health monitoring.

Support for catheter-related complications – Monitoring for leakage, bypassing, trauma, encrustation, or bladder spasms.
