Description
The Catheterization Set is designed for the sterile insertion of a catheter into a patient’s urinary system, typically to drain urine when the patient is unable to do so naturally. It includes items for ensuring sterility, cleanliness, and safe handling of the catheter during insertion and removal. Below is an explanation of the role of each item in the set:
1. Kidney Dish 9” (1 pcs)
The kidney dish is a shallow, curved container used to hold surgical instruments, tissues, or fluids during the catheterization procedure. It helps keep the sterile equipment organized and provides a convenient place to dispose of any waste or fluids during the process.
2. Patient Drape Size: 500 x 500mm (1 pcs)
The patient drape is a sterile sheet used to cover the area around the patient where the catheter will be inserted. It helps to maintain a clean environment during the procedure by isolating the surgical site and preventing contamination from surrounding areas.
3. Outer Wrap (1 pcs)
The outer wrap is a sterile cover that holds all the items in the set together. It ensures that the contents of the set remain sterile until they are ready to be used. The outer wrap provides protection during storage and transport.
4. 20ml Syringe (1 pcs)
The 20ml syringe is often used to inflate the balloon of the catheter (if it is a Foley catheter). The syringe helps to introduce the appropriate amount of sterile water into the catheter’s balloon to secure it in place after insertion.
5. 60ml Gallipot (1 pcs)
The 60ml gallipot is a small container that holds fluids such as sterile water or antiseptic solution for the procedure. It may be used to store the irrigation fluid or a sterile solution required for the catheter insertion, ensuring that the fluid is accessible and sterile.
6. Lubricating Jelly (1 pcs)
Lubricating jelly is used to coat the catheter and reduce friction during insertion, making the process more comfortable for the patient and minimizing the risk of injury to the urinary tract. It ensures the smooth insertion of the catheter.
7. Cotton Balls (7 pcs)
Cotton balls are used for cleaning and disinfecting the area around the urethra prior to catheter insertion. They may also be used to apply antiseptic solution to the catheter site, reducing the risk of infection. They help ensure sterility before and during the procedure.
8. C-Fold Hand Towel (1 pcs)
The C-fold hand towel is used for drying hands or cleaning the area around the insertion site. It can also be used to maintain hygiene during the procedure. It helps absorb any excess moisture and keeps the area dry, preventing contamination.
9. Urine Container (1 pcs)
The urine container is used to collect urine from the patient once the catheter is inserted. It ensures that the urine is collected in a sterile and hygienic manner, and it also allows for easy monitoring of the patient’s output.
10. Forceps (1 pcs)
Forceps are used for handling sterile items, such as cotton balls or gauze, during the catheterization procedure. They help the healthcare provider avoid touching sterile items directly, reducing the risk of contamination.
11. Examination Gloves (1 pair)
Examination gloves are worn by the healthcare provider during the catheterization procedure to prevent contamination and maintain sterility. These gloves ensure infection control by providing a barrier between the healthcare provider and the patient.
12. Gauze Swab (1 pcs)
The gauze swab is used for cleaning and disinfecting the area before and after catheter insertion. It can also be used to absorb any fluids during the procedure. The gauze helps in wound care and maintaining a clean site to prevent infection.
13. Limpet Bag (1 pcs)
The limpet bag is used to collect and dispose of medical waste, such as used gloves, cotton balls, or gauze, during and after the procedure. It helps maintain a sterile environment by safely disposing of contaminated materials and reducing the risk of infection.
Overall Function of the Set:
The Catheterization Set provides all the essential tools and materials required to insert a catheter safely and hygienically. It ensures that the procedure is done in a sterile environment, reducing the risk of infection and complications. The set is organized to facilitate smooth and efficient insertion, with tools to clean and disinfect the area, manage waste, and ensure patient comfort. It is primarily used in medical settings where catheterization is needed for patients who cannot urinate naturally.
