the site also provide a lot of other how to videos. A word of caution be careful and always be as sterile as possible. Urinary track infections (UTI's) can be very serious and difficult to treat.

In the experience of ANYONE who has ever catheterized a male, lubricating 5-7" of cath, and holding it that far from the end, it will be impossible to insert it into a penis. Their male mannikin is not a good model.

The catheterization of the female mannikin model seemed reasonable enough.

Susie, you are so right. And that is why I find the attempts to teach sterile technique laughable. All the extra manipulation makes infection more likely. I know that some institutions that insist on using sterile technique have a UTI rate approaching 100%. Places that teach and use the much more sane clean technique have much lower infection rates with some approaching 0%.
