To use a Coudé catheter like the Luja™ while standing, start by thoroughly washing your hands and gathering all necessary supplies, including the catheter, lubricant if needed, and a container for urine if you’re not standing over a toilet. After positioning yourself comfortably, retract the xxxx if uncircumcised and clean the tip of the xxxx with a sterile wipe. Gently insert the lubricated Coudé catheter with the curved tip facing upward (or in the direction recommended by your healthcare provider) and advance it slowly, using steady, gentle pressure—never force it. Once urine begins to flow, allow the bladder to drain fully. When finished, slowly remove the catheter, dispose of it properly, and wash your hands again. The Luja™ catheter is specifically designed for easier handling and reduced blockage, making it suitable for standing use. Watching instructional videos, such as those by Coloplast UK & Ireland, can provide helpful visual guidance. Always follow any additional personal or medical advice given by your doctor to ensure safety and comfort.
