Wash hands with mild soap and water.
Fully fold back the packaging by peeling down on
the clear side of the package.
Remove the red cap from the protective tip of the
catheter.
Hold the gel reservoir (without squeezing) in one
hand and with the other hand move the catheter
forward until tip of the catheter fills the protective tip.
Ensure the catheter does not protrude from the tip.
Lay the catheter on the opened package, so the
tip is positioned over the paper, taking care not to
contaminate the catheter tip.
To empty before disposing the product, tear the
collection bag at the notch to drain the urine into a
toilet or other collection device.
Continue holding the labia apart with two fingers.
Holding the gel reservoir gently, insert the
protective tip until the base comes in contact with
the urethral opening. Keep the protective tip in
place. Release the labia.
The gel reservoir should be held gently in place until
the catheter has passed through the urethra and
into the bladder. As you advance the catheter and
the pouch begins to gather, if you want to pull back
the pouch, hold the catheter firmly through the gel
reservoir. This action will help prevent the catheter
from slipping out of the urethra before you gently pull
back on the pouch. Continue to insert the catheter
forward until the urine starts to flow. Once urine has
stopped flowing, slowly withdraw the catheter.
Spread the labia and cleanse around the opening
of the urethra with mild, unscented soap or a
non-alcoholic wet wipe. If you are using the Advance
Plus Kit, use the BZK swabs provided for cleansing.
The catheter may be disposed of in a waste
basket. DO NOT FLUSH DOWN TOILET. Wash
hands with mild soap and water.

1
Urine is produced by the kidneys, which filter the waste
products out of your body.
2
The liquid waste is passed via tubes called ureters to
your bladder, the organ that stores urine.
3
When the bladder becomes full – a signal is sent to the
brain to tell the urethral sphincter muscle to relax and
the bladder to contract.
4
Urine flows down the urethra – the natural tube through
which urine exits the bladder, and out of the body.
Self-Intermittent Catheterisation (SIC)
When the bladder does not empty on its own, SIC may
be recommended. Self-catheterisation should be carried
out under medical advice and only in accordance with
instructions provided. It involves using a catheter to drain
urine from your bladder via the urethra. Urine should be
expelled on a regular basis throughout the day to keep the
body healthy.
