Reply to "Your protocol for using a catheter"

Catheter is for stoma of the K/BRIC type pouch.   The catheter is inserted into the stoma in order to eliminate.  these types of pouches are internal capture, in contrast to an exterior bag/appliance that goes over a stoma.  One would consider both types of stomas as an ostomy.

The first post in this thread refers to using a catheter with a J pouch. It would be best to get clarification from Ellie85. It sounds like they’re using the catheter to eliminate from the anus.

If you have a J pouch, then you probably don’t need to worry about this. I’m sure you’ve got enough other things to worry about!  hope this helps.  Stay well, Jan
