indwelling catheter should remain in place for
24 hours.
After 24 hours the indwelling catheter should
be removed and the patient should try to void
urgently.
if the patient is unable to void without a
considerable amount of residual urine, it may
be necessary to teach the patient intermittent
catheterization in case of retention.
the patient should continue to use pads or
condom drainage to contain any leakage.
in the case of pump or balloon replacement,
a pressurization procedure must be made day
after the replacement process.
DISCHARGE
the patient can be discharged 2 to 4 days
postoperatively at the discretion of the
surgeon and depending on his general health.
Antibiotic cover should be prescribed at the
discretion of the surgeon.

pRessURizatiOn
pROcedURe
the viCto+/viCto implant is pressurized
by injecting sterile saline solution through
the self-sealing port in the base of the control
pump. the pressure in the device depends
upon the amount of fluid injected. this feature
cuff replacement,
allows the device to be set at any desired
pressure without having to change the prB.
EqUIPMENT REqUIRED
the pressurization procedure is best carried
out as a sterile procedure in a clean clinical
space.
• sterile saline solution for injection
• victo adjustment kit
- 6ml syringe
- non-coring needle 25Gx5/8"
• sterile dressing pack
• sterile drapes
• sterile gloves
impORtant
it is vital that the wall of the pump unit
is not pierced by the needle. if this
occurs, the device may be permanently
damaged, necessitating explantation of
the entire device.
it is essential that only the 25G x 5/8"
needle provided in the Adjustment kit
be used and that the needle is always
aligned parallel to the sides of the pump
so that it will penetrate the self-sealing
port straight and through the "guard ring."
only the base of the pump with its metal
guard ring may be injected safely.
