Understanding Ostomy and Catheter Care Needs

What Is Ostomy Care?

An ostomy is a surgical opening created to help waste leave the body. People may need an ostomy due to colorectal cancer, Crohn’s disease, trauma, or other medical conditions. Proper ostomy care involves cleaning the stoma site, managing supplies, and watching for skin irritation or infection.

What Is Catheter Care?

Catheter care involves the safe use and maintenance of a tube inserted to drain urine from the bladder. Common types include Foley catheters (indwelling), intermittent catheters, and suprapubic catheters. Catheter care helps prevent infections, ensures correct drainage, and protects delicate skin around the insertion site.
