Bladder catheterization is a medical procedure in which a special catheter is placed into the bladder to help drain urine.
The procedure may be needed in different medical situations, but it should always be performed only according to a doctor’s prescription and by qualified medical personnel.
Home catheterization is especially relevant for patients who have difficulty moving, are recovering after surgery, have neurological problems,
urinary retention, long-term care needs, or other conditions that make urine drainage difficult to manage.
NMS 24/7 — Your Family Nurse provides bladder catheterization services at home in Tbilisi and Batumi.
Our team works 24/7 and performs procedures according to the doctor’s instruction, while following hygiene rules and medical standards.
Bladder catheterization may be prescribed when the patient cannot urinate independently or when urine output needs to be monitored.
A catheter may also be needed after surgery, during prolonged bed rest, in palliative care, or in cases where the patient’s condition makes daily hygiene and care more difficult.
Before starting the procedure, the nurse checks the doctor’s prescription, the patient’s condition, required supplies, and the environment.
Sterile equipment, hand hygiene, and proper catheter placement are especially important.
If performed incorrectly, the procedure may cause pain, irritation, urinary tract infection, or other complications.
The patient or family member should inform the nurse about any allergies, existing medical conditions, previous catheterization experience, or current medications.
This helps medical personnel plan the procedure more safely.
After catheter insertion, proper catheter care is important.
The urine bag should be positioned correctly, the system should remain clean and protected, and the patient’s skin should be checked regularly.
Family members should pay attention to warning signs such as pain, burning, fever, a strong change in urine color or smell, discharge, or catheter blockage.
In such cases, a doctor or medical professional should be contacted immediately.
The main advantage of catheterization at home is comfort and individual attention.
The patient does not need to travel to a clinic and receives the necessary procedure in a calm, familiar environment.
This is especially important for elderly patients, weakened patients, post-surgical patients, and people who require long-term care.
At NMS 24/7, every visit is planned according to the patient’s condition and needs. Our goal is to provide care that is fast, organized, safe, and reliable.
