Catheter Care
Specially trained care professionals provide safe, hygienic catheter care in the comfort of your home, with full support from our qualified clinical leadership.
Professional Catheter Care
Managing a catheter properly is crucial for health, dignity, and quality of life. Our care professionals are specially trained in catheter care and work closely with GPs, district nurses, and healthcare teams to ensure the highest standards.
Many people live comfortably with a long-term catheter once they get used to it.
What We Do
What is Catheter Care?
A urinary catheter is a thin, flexible tube used to drain urine from the bladder into a collection bag. It may be inserted by a healthcare professional through the urethra or a small opening in the abdomen.
At Link Direct, we support clients with all aspects of catheter care to help them stay healthy, comfortable, and independent at home. This includes keeping the area around the catheter clean with mild soap and water, managing the drainage system correctly, and watching for any signs of infection. We also encourage good hydration, regular toileting routines, and gentle support with personal care.

Why Catheter Care Matters

Beyond medical care, our carers also provide emotional support and assistance with other aspects of daily living to promote comfort, dignity, and independence.
