Directions for Applying the Male External Catheter (Information Provided by Coloplast Corporation)

These are abbreviated instructions.  Before using this product, carefully read the product labeling.  Do not use if the product or packaging is damaged.  This is a single use device.

1. Always measure for the correct size (both circumference and length) (30mm is average).
2. Flip open the packing using your thumb nail to break the seal.
3. Remove the catheter from the package and place it over the end of the shaft.
4. Leave a small space between the end of the shaft and the narrow catheter outlet.
5. Uncircumcised users should leave the foreskin in place over the head of the shaft.
6. Pull the double grip strip to slowly unroll the catheter all the way up the length of the shaft.
7. The catheter should unroll smoothly and evenly.
8. Gently squeeze the catheter around the shaft (approximately 1 minute) to ensure a secure fit.

Connecting the Urine Bag

Connect a urine collecting bag to the catheter by fully inserting the tubing connector into the external catheter outlet.  Push together firmly for a secure connection.

Removing the Male External Catheter

Removal is easy and painless.  The catheter can be removed by detaching the catheter from the urine bag connector and carefully rolling it off the shaft.  If you need to, use warm soapy water to help remove the catheter.  It can then be disposed of in the trash, with general household waste.  Finish by washing your hands.  Change the male external catheter every day and change the bag according to recommendations from your health professional.

Helpful Hints

• For best results, trim the pubic area (close trim is best).
• Soaps with lotion or application of lotion may cause the catheter to NOT adhere properly.
• To reduce the risk of irritation, allow the skin to breathe for short periods in between catheter changes.
