Illustration: Lars &#8216;Geson&#8217; Andersson<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"Beskr\">A disposable catheter is used \u2013 EasiCath Nelaton from Coloplast. User drains urine while sitting in wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>Technique:<br \/>\nUser washes, opens the top of the catheter bag, 2-3 cm and fills the package with water from the faucet. After 30 seconds the catheter is ready for use. The user sits in front of the toilet chair, pulls down trousers and moves forward in the chair to semi-reclining position.<br \/>\nShe pours out the water from the catheter bag, opens the other side of the package and pulls the catheter tip a few centimeters out of the package. She uses the catheter package as an extension of the catheter and places it on the edge of the toilet. She carefully inserts the catheter far enough for the urine to begin to run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nAt first she used a mirror to be able to more easily see where to insert the catheter. But with time she learned how to do this without a mirror. She feels it is a great advantage that she does not have to transfer to sit on unhygienic public toilets. With this position she can drain urine anywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilv\"><strong>Made by<\/strong><br \/>\nColoplast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coloplast.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coloplast.us<\/a> (catheter) (last checked June 2021)<\/p>\n<p class=\"rkom\"><strong>Editors comments<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Wellspect\u2019s webbsite you can download a form which helps to take along catheters in hand luggage when flying,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellspect.us\/bladder\/living-with-catheterization\/leisure\/travel-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wellspect.us\/bladder\/living-with-catheterization\/leisure\/travel-tips<\/a>\u00a0 (last checked June 2021).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/637_26_tappning2_600.jpg\" alt=\"EasiCath Nelaton\" width=\"600\" height=\"268\" \/><figcaption>EasiCath Nelaton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/637_26_tappning4_600.jpg\" alt=\"User opens the upper portion of the catheter bag\" width=\"600\" height=\"560\" \/><figcaption>User opens the upper portion of the catheter bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent drainage of urine while sitting in wheelchair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":50641,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[319],"tags":[467],"class_list":["post-2637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-toileting-19","tag-authors_v5","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/637_26_toalet_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2637"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252175,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions\/252175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
