Remove the pouch. If the patient uses a two-piece system, remove the pouch but leave the barrier attached to the skin. Position the patient sitting, if possible; gravity facilitates the flow of urine. Sterile gloves are used for the actual catheterization. Clean gloves are all that are necessary for removing the pouch. |
