Programs that provide assistance for people who are unable to leave their beds to urinate and require a catheter (a tubular instrument that is passed through the urethra into the bladder) to drain the accumulated urine. Care involves insertion of the catheter, irrigation of the area and removal of the catheter for refitting approximately every six weeks.
