Catheter maintenance

Routine Catheter Checks:

We conduct regular checks to ensure that the catheter is functioning properly and assess the catheter site for any signs of infection or blockage. Our caregivers are trained to identify and address any issues promptly to maintain optimal catheter performance.

Dressing Changes:

Our team performs routine dressing changes around the catheter site to keep it clean and reduce the risk of infection. We adhere to strict protocols to ensure that the site remains sterile and well-maintained throughout the care period.

Catheter Flushing:

We regularly flush the catheter to prevent clotting and ensure it remains clear and functional. This process helps maintain catheter patency and prevents potential complications associated with catheter blockage.

Monitoring for Complications:

Our caregivers monitor for any signs of complications, such as infection, inflammation, or catheter displacement. Immediate action is taken if any issues are detected to prevent further health concerns and ensure continued comfort.

Patient and Family Education:

We provide comprehensive education to patients and their families on catheter care, including signs to monitor and proper hygiene practices. This empowers clients and their families to effectively manage catheter care at home.

Coordination with Healthcare Providers:

We work closely with healthcare providers to integrate catheter care into the client's overall treatment plan. This coordination ensures that all aspects of care are aligned and optimized for the client’s health and well-being.
