Catheter Care

What Is Catheter Care?

Catheter care involves the safe and hygienic management of medical tubes used to drain urine or deliver medications. It’s a vital part of care for patients recovering from surgery, living with chronic illness, or requiring long-term medical support at home.

Why Proper Catheter Care Matters

  • Infection Prevention
    Catheters can become a source of infection if not properly maintained. Our team uses sterile techniques and routine cleaning procedures to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), bloodstream infections, and other complications.

  • Drainage & Comfort
    We ensure that the catheter is functioning correctly, free from blockages or leaks, and that the patient experiences minimal discomfort or disruption to their daily life.

  • Early Detection & Intervention
    Through regular assessment, we monitor for signs of inflammation, discomfort, or system failure — allowing for timely medical attention when needed.
