In this film, you will learn step-by-step how to use a urinary collecting system. It is simple to use and will require some practice. To ensure a comfortable and secure fit, It is very important to get the correct size of the Sheath, use the measuring guide. The shaft of the penis should be measured at the widest part. If the size of the penis is measured to be between two sizes of Urisheaths, the small urisheath should be selected. Choosing too large sheaths can lead to leakage.
Once you have found the correct size, you need to choose the length of the Sheath. The standard length is suitable for most men. But men with a retracted penis may require the shorter length. This Urisheath should be long enough to extend to the base of the penis. You may need to have more than one size and length for different situations. E.g. day and night.

Leave the foreskin in place over the head of the penis if you are not circumcised. Now place the urisheath over the tip of the penis. Leave a small gap between the tip of the penis and the narrow outer tube to allow the free flow of urine. Holding the Urisheath in place with one hand, use the other to slowly pull the loop of the strip towards yourself. Unroll the Urisheath completely. Gently squeeze the unrolled urisheath around the shaft of the penis to ensure a secure fix. Conveen optima comes with the adhesive already on it, so no additional adhesive is needed. The Urisheath is now in place. You need to change the Urisheath every day. The interval between each change should not exceed 24 hours to ensure good hygiene and minimize the risk of urinary tract Infections.
Detach the Urisheath from the urine bag connector. Carefully roll the urisheath off the penis. Warm water can be used to help soften the adhesive and release the sheath if necessary. The Urisheath and packaging can be disposed of in your household rubbish. Do not flush it down the toilet.
