ABOUT THE SIMULATOR
The Life/form®Cath-Ed I Simulator, like its companion Cath-Ed II for female catheterization, combines
both visual and tactile learning into one compact unit to provide the most advanced training aid avail-
able for demonstrating and practicing catheterization of the male.
Accurate representation of anatomical detail is provided and ensured in this casting made from molds
formed directly from an actual cadaver dissection, prepared by Dr. James Petterson, Professor of Anat-
omy at the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
The midsagittal dissection allows detailed study of the internal structures and provides students an
opportunity to understand what happens when they catheterize a patient. The removable plastic cover
identifies key anatomical structures.
In addition to the demonstrated gross anatomy, Cath-Ed I allows realistic practice in catheterization. A
functional bladder has been incorporated to allow simulated urine to flow when the catheter is inserted
properly.
Cath-Ed I should provide years of service in training personnel in male catheterization without danger of
discomfort to patients.
LIST OF COMPONENTS:
• Life/form®Lubricant Kit • 16 Foley French Catheter • 50 cc Syringe
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A. Lubrication
1. Proper lubrication is very important, just as it is with a real
patient. Before every catheterization, a liberal amount of
lubricant should be dispensed onto the catheter.
2. For the first catheterization attempt of each session, it may be
necessary to withdraw the catheter after insertion halfway into the
urethra, and then to apply additional lubricant to be carried into
the final sector of the artificial urethra.
CAUTION: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, as they will damage the simulator.
CARE OF SIMULATOR
A. General Cleaning
1. Most dirt and stains can be removed from the vinyl simulator with mild soap and water. Use Nasco
Cleaner (LF09919U) to remove stubborn stains from simulator. Apply Nasco Cleaner to soiled
area and wipe clean with a soft cloth or paper towels.
2. The clear plastic cover should be cleaned only with clear water and wiped with a soft paper wipe or
facial tissue.
3. Do not use povidone-iodine prep solutions, as these will cause permanent staining to the simulator.
B. Cleaning Urethra
1. As the lubricant utilized is water based, it will dry if left in urethra and may be difficult to soften and
remove. It is recommended that the collected lubricant be flushed from the inside of the urethra
following each usage session. This can easily be done by removing the plastic snap-on cover and
squirting tap water through the urethra with a 50 cc bulb syringe. (See figure 2.)
2. If the lubricant is dried on, it may be necessary to work a small diameter catheter through the
urethra while flushing water.
C. Cover Removal
1. To remove the clear plastic cover, pull the bottom lip up. (See figure 3.) To assemble, line up the
self-fastening dots on top with the dots on the simulator. Push into place.
D. Storage and Transportation
1. Before returning the simulator to its storage case, all fluid should be drained. Remove both blue
plugs and invert model over sink to drain.
2. Replace both plugs before storing. Never store with catheter inserted in urethra as lubricant will dry
out and damage may result upon removal.
3. Ensure trainer and components are completely dried before storage.
CAUTIONS
Solvents or corrosive materials will damage simulator. Never place simulator on any printed paper or
plastic. These materials will transfer indelible stains. Ballpoint pens will also make indelible stains.
SUPPLIES/REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR CATH-ED I SIMULATOR
LF09919U Nasco Cleaner
LF00985U Life/form®Lubricant Kit
LF01127U Foley Catheter, 16 FR. 5 cc, Pkg. of 1
LF01128U Foley Catheter, 16 FR. 5 cc, Pkg. of 10
B. Catheterization
1. The Cath-Ed I is designed to accept only 16 Foley
French Catheters like the one supplied with the
simulator. To prevent damage to the simulator, use a
16 FR catheter or smaller. A resistance, similar to the
urethral sphincter, will be felt just prior to entrance into
the bladder. (See figure 1.) The most realistic tactile
experience will result with the use of a 16 FR catheter.
2. Placement of the catheter can be verified visually in the
bladder.
C. Foley Catheters
1. Proper inflation and placement of the Foley catheter cuff can be demonstrated very effectively with
the bladder cross section.
2. To prevent damage to the simulator when using the Foley style catheter, be certain that the inflat-
able cuff is fully inside the bladder before inflating. Never attempt to remove the catheter while cuff
is inflated or the delicate simulated urethra will be damaged.
3. After a few inflations, the cuff will be stretched and will interfere with proper operation of the cathe-
ter, which may cause damage to the simulator. Replace catheters frequently.
