Irrigating a suprapubic catheter involves using a sterile saline solution to flush the catheter and bladder. First, ensure all materials are sterile, then connect a sterile syringe filled with saline to the catheter's port. Gently instill the saline while monitoring for any resistance or discomfort, and then withdraw any debris or clotted material. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions and protocols for irrigation to prevent infection or complications.
