Applying an external condom catheter

condom-catheter

So, tell me. How many of these steps do you do every other night just for fun?

1. Assesses the skin of the penis
2. Uses clean technique throughout
3. Prepares the leg bag or bedside drainage bag for attachment to the condom catheter by removing it from the packaging and placing the end of the connecting tubing near the perineal area.
4. Rolls the condom catheter outward onto itself to prepare for rolling up and onto the penis.
5. Places the patient in the supine position.
6. Folds down the bedcovers to expose the genitalia and drapes the patient, using the bath blanket.
7. Washes hands.
8. Dons clean procedure gloves.
9. Gently cleanses the penis with soap and water. Rinses and dries thoroughly.
10. If the penis is uncircumcised, retracts the foreskin, cleanses the glans and replaces the foreskin.
11. Clips excess hair along the shaft of the penis, unless contraindicated by policy or patient condition.
12. Washes hands; changes procedure gloves.
13. Measures circumference of the penis. Ensures catheter is appropriately sized.
14. Applies skin prep and allows it to dry.
15. Holding penis in non-dominant hand, with dominant hand places the condom at the end of the penis and slowly unrolls it up along the shaft.
16. Leaves one to two inches between the end of the penis and the drainage tube on the catheter.
17. Secures condom catheter in place on the penis. Ensures that condom is not twisted.

    You had me at “Assesses the skin of the penis”. Is it just me or do you hear the voice of Jame Gumb from ‘Silence of the Lambs’? “It puts the lotion in the basket.”

    an external cath is alot better than a real one…except when the old man gets a friggen hard on from a certain someone cleaning the area and then asks you to pull on it so that he can pee better- the dirty ol’ bastard (may he rest in peace)
