Learn About Clean Intermittent Catheterization At Home Service
Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) is a medical procedure of draining urine via a catheter (thin plastic tube) inserted into the urethra to empty the bladder when someone with bladder control issues or other medical conditions is unable to do so naturally. A urinary catheter is a small, flexible plastic tube that is inserted through the urethra into the bladder, allowing urine to drain through the sphincter muscle. Once the catheter is in place, urine is drained and the bladder is emptied, then the catheter is removed. Clean Intermittent Catheterization At Home can be used for short or long term intervention, and is often performed several times a day at regular intervals. CIC is often used by patients with conditions such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions affecting bladder control.
