Urinary Catheter Placement

Bladder catheterization is accomplished by inserting a catheter into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. During the placement of the catheter sepsis-antisepsis principles are implemented.

Catheterization is carried out at the patient’s home or place of residence, by an experienced and registered nurse or health care provider, following medical instructions.

As a rule, the service is provided to the patient on the same day. In some cases where, following medical advice, the catheterization process may require specialized equipment, the provision of the service is planned as soon as possible, after consultation with the patient.

The expected duration of catheterization varies depending on several factors such as patient cooperation.

The catheter selection procedure shall be carried out in accordance with medical instructions and depending on how long the catheter is to be used and the diameter of the urethra. As a rule, the procedure is easy, fast and performed responsibly by experienced nurses. A catheter of a smaller diameter than that of the urethra is selected to avoid injury, and, after lubricating the tip of the catheter, it is inserted with mild manipulations. High-quality care is always provided to the patient
