B. Catheter Selection
1.
Use only 16 French Foley catheters. The Male Catheterization Simulator is precisely
engineered to provide the most lifelike experience possible. Use of the 16 French Foley
catheter facilitates catheterization and helps minimize damage to the simulated urethra.
Use of larger catheters results in unnecessarily difficult catheterization procedures. Use of
smaller sizes will result in leakage around the catheter.
2.
Only silicone catheters should be used. Latex catheters, if left in contact with the simula-
tor, will damage the simulator and void the warranty.
C. Lubrication
1.
Lubricate the simulator’s urethra and the catheter liberally EVERY TIME a catheterization
procedure is attempted. This provides maximum realism and minimizes damage to the
urethra wall of the simulator.
2.
Use only
Life
/
form
®
Simulator Lubricant (LF00985U). Make NO OTHER substitutions.
Even water-soluble lubricants tend to build up in the urethra over a period of time.
3.
Initial use after long storage or heavy usage during a long class session will require heavy
lubrication. Do this by inserting the lubricated catheter about half way, then remove and
relubricate several times before inserting the catheter fully.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Catheterization Procedure
Note:
To avoid the possibility of leakage, be sure to use a 16 French silicone Foley catheter
(supplied with the simulator).
A.
Lubricate catheter by coating with
Life
/
form
®
simulator lubricant.
(See Figure 3.)
(Obtain a catheter bag or water-safe container; not included.)
B.
Slowly insert the catheter about 2” into the urethra with the penis in the normal hanging
position until the restriction simulating the mucosal fold is encountered.
(See Figure 4.)
