What are the most important daily steps in catheter care?

The key daily steps are simple but very important. Hands should be washed before and after any contact with the catheter. The skin around the insertion site should be gently cleaned and dried, without pulling on the tubing. The drainage bag needs to be kept below bladder level and emptied regularly so it never becomes overly full. Tubing should be checked for kinks, twists or pressure points that might cause discomfort or blockage. It also helps to notice changes in urine colour, smell or volume. Our carers can complete or supervise all of these steps with you, depending on how much support you prefer.
