Care of Suprapubic Catheter


Examine the skin around the catheter by pulling up on the lower abdomen or using a mirror. A small amount of redness and clear drainage is a normal reaction of the skin to the catheter. A large area of redness or colored or foul smelling drainage must be reported to your doctor.
