Keep it clean – Tips on keeping catheters clean and staying sanitary
Soap and water are the most important tools for keeping catheters clean and staying sanitary. Here’s your game plan.
Lather up
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) removing germs with handwashing can help prevent colds, diarrhea, respiratory infections, and even eye and skin infections. Handwashing is also important for keeping your catheter clean and sanitary. Use warm water and non-mosturizing bar soap, such as Ivory or Dial gold. Take a shower or wash your hands and the entire genital area carefully before application. Thorough cleansing is important because it prevents the transfer of germs from other surfaces you have had contact with onto the application area. Wash your hands after application as well.
Maintain a no-contact zone
When emptying, give yourself enough space to maneuver freely without bringing any part of the catheter in contact with the toilet, sink or any other surface. Empty the collection unit when it is about 2/3 full. Always wash all related supplies, such as drainage tubes, in warm, soapy water between uses.
Protect your skin
