What is Catheter Care?
Catheter care involves the management and maintenance of urinary catheters, which are medical devices used to drain urine from the bladder when an individual is unable to do so naturally. Proper catheter care is essential to prevent infections, maintain comfort, and ensure optimal bladder health.
How We Deliver Catheter Care
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is trained to provide comprehensive catheter care, which includes:
- Catheter Insertion and Maintenance: Ensuring the catheter is properly inserted, secure, and functioning correctly.
- Hygiene Management: Regular cleaning and care to minimise the risk of infection.
- Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Observing for any signs of complications, such as blockages, leakage, or infection, and addressing them promptly.
- Client Education: Teaching clients and their families about catheter care to promote confidence and independence where possible.
Additional Services in Catheter Care
- Bladder Irrigation and Maintenance Services: Our team provides regular bladder irrigation to prevent blockages and ensure the urinary system functions smoothly.
- Suprapubic Catheter Care: We provide support and management for suprapubic catheters, which are inserted through the abdomen directly into the bladder. This includes regular monitoring, cleaning, and troubleshooting.
- Management of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): We proactively address and prevent UTIs through careful monitoring, hygiene practices, and timely medical interventions.
- Intermittent Catheterisation Support: For clients requiring intermittent catheterisation, we offer training and support to encourage independence while ensuring safe and effective usage.
- Peritoneal Dialysis Support: We also provide at-home peritoneal dialysis support for individuals managing kidney failure. Our care team assists with this vital treatment, helping clients perform their dialysis routines safely and effectively in the comfort of their homes.
