Course Introduction
This hands-on course provides extensive training for Support Workers on using various catheter systems and the medical or physical conditions that require catheter use. This training will give you the necessary skills to administer catheter care to clients and understand the basics of the urinary system. Men can use urinary sheaths or Uridome (often called condom drainage) if they have urinary incontinence and don’t want to or can’t wear pads. They fit over the male genitals like a condom and are attached at the end to a drainage bag to collect and store the urine until it can be emptied.
