Positioning Device for Female Urinary Catheterization

In female patients, the dorsal recumbent position is required to visualize the urethral meatus. In female patients, direct visualization of the urethral meatus after providing a suitable position is very important for successful catheter advancement while maintaining sterile conditions. Especially in unconscious or uncooperative female patients, it is much more difficult to maintain and maintain an appropriate position, and more than one staff may be needed for this. Although it is clear that it is important and difficult to position female patients during catheterization and maintain it throughout the procedure, no device used to assist positioning has been encountered. Therefore, in this project; The aim of this study is to provide a comfortable and safe position for the patient in urinary catheterization in female patients, to develop an auxiliary device to maintain this position throughout the procedure, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this device.
