Coloplast catheters are available in a number of subcategories for a variety of different medical conditions and applications. For self-catheterization, external or intermittent catheters are most commonly employed for men, women and children of all ages. To best understand how to use a catheter, experts advise consulting a medical professional, read included product instructions and consult video guidance when necessary.

To use an intermittent catheter like the Coloplast Self-Cath Intermittent Catheters for men, start by applying a lubricating jelly on the catheter and gently insert it into the urethra. For women, separate the labia with your hands and insert the catheter into the urethra. When urine begins to flow, insert one inch further. The process can vary for children. Be sure to watch the Coloplast catheter guides on the Coloplast website for more detailed information.

Coloplast ostomy supplies are products that help patients who have undergone colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies. The ostomy bag is a medical prosthetic device that collects waste from the body. Adjusting to an ostomy bag can be a difficult period for many patients. The Coloplast ostomy bag seeks to make the transition simpler and easier for patients who are in need. In some cases, an ostomy bag may be permanent and in other cases, only temporary. In any case, Coloplast ostomy products can help patients feel safer and more secure as they recover from surgery and adjust to a new lifestyle.

Wearing a pair or surgical-grade gloves, place a jug underneath the catheter bag. The jug must not touch the bag. Open the drainage valve and release the urine into the jug. Then reseal the bag properly for continued use. It is important to keep the bag sterile and to empty it before it overflows. Take care to empty the Coloplast Conveen Security+ Leg Bag or a similar catheter bag when it is about three-quarters full. This may take anywhere from three to four hours, depending on the patient.

The Coloplast Speedicath is suitable for patients with short-term or long-term medical conditions. With different techniques for men, women, and children, ensure you follow the correct instructions to easily and painlessly insert the Speedicath catheter safely into your patient or yourself. The Speedicath is sterilized and should be manipulated with sterile gloves to keep from contaminating the catheter and avoid infection.
