The process

What to expect

01

Appliance assessment

The nurse checks the catheter or stoma condition, the integrity of the peristomal skin, correct device function and absence of infection signs.

02

Technical care

Stoma pouch change, peristomal skin care, bladder irrigation for urinary catheters, balloon and urine-flow checks.

03

Patient education

The nurse teaches you to recognise warning signs, change your appliance and adapt your diet to reduce complications.

04

Medical coordination

Any problem (skin irritation, blockage, infection) is reported to the doctor with photos and measurements for rapid treatment adjustment.

The benefits

Done with skill and gentleness

A nurse trained in catheter and stoma care performs each change cleanly and comfortably, turning a daunting task into a routine one.

Fewer infections and leaks

Correct technique and the right appliance prevent the blockages, leaks and skin damage that so often send people back to the clinic.

You gain confidence

We teach you and your family the daily care step by step, so living with a catheter or stoma feels manageable rather than frightening.

Patient profile

Who is this for

Recent colostomy or ileostomy

You have just had surgery and need to learn to live with your stoma. Regular nursing support eases the adaptation.

Long-term urinary catheter

You have an indwelling catheter and need regular care to prevent infections and keep the device functioning properly.

Gastrostomy tube

You are tube-fed and need regular skin care and nutritional monitoring at home.

Clinical details

Home catheter and stoma care follows the recommendations of the SFETC (Société Francophone d'Étude des Troubles de la Continence) and the AFET (Association Française d'Entérostoma-Thérapeutes). Peristomal skin is assessed at each visit using the DET scale (Discolouration, Erosion, Tissue overgrowth). For stomas: pouch changes follow a strict hygiene protocol (warm-water cleansing, gentle drying, application of a protective wafer cut to the stoma diameter). The nurse monitors stoma colour (bright pink = normal; pale, bluish or black = vascular complication). For urinary catheters: urine-output monitoring, bladder irrigation on prescription, urinary infection prevention (hydration, collection bag positioned below bladder level). Catheter changes are scheduled per the medical calendar (every 4 to 6 weeks for silicone catheters).

Frequently asked questions

  • A long-term urinary catheter is usually changed every 3 to 4 weeks, or sooner if it blocks, leaks or causes discomfort. The nurse keeps a schedule and acts early on any problem.

  • Yes. Our nurses care for colostomies, ileostomies and urostomies, fit and change the appliance, protect the surrounding skin and gradually teach you to manage it yourself.

  • Call us if there is no urine output, heavy bleeding, the catheter falls out, the stoma changes colour, or you develop fever or pain. These need prompt attention and we respond 24/7.

After my colostomy I was afraid of everything. The nurse taught me to change my pouch on my own, eat the right foods and live normally. Today I go out, I travel, I live.
