How to Use Intermittent (Manual) Catheterization

Manual Catheterization (IC – Intermittent Catheterization) Key Points (Dr. Ali Nemati): 1. Avoid infections at all costs. Improper IC is the most common cause of bladder infections. 2. During intermittent catheterization, all equipment must be clean and sterile. 3. Do not touch the catheter with bare hands or unsterilized surfaces. 4. Always use a sterile catheter and follow hygiene protocols strictly. Note: Strict adherence to hygiene significantly reduces the risk of bladder infections and catheter-related complications.
