prescribed at the discretion of the surgeon.
after 24 hours the indwelling catheter should
be removed and the patient should try to void
on urge.
if the patient is unable to void without large
residual urine, it may be necessary to teach
the patient intermittent catheterization in the
case of retention.
the patient should continue to use pads or
condom drainage to contain leakages.
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.
an outpatient appointment should be made
for 4 to 6 weeks following implantation for
pressurization of the device.
preSSUrizAtiOn
prOcedUre
the 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 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 needles: 25g x 5/8"
• sterile dressing pack
• sterile drapes
• sterile gloves
iMpOrtAnt
it is vital that the wall of the pump unit
is not pierced with the needle. if this
occurs, the device may be permanently
damaged, necessitating explantation of
the whole device.
it is essential that only the non-coring
needles 25g x 5/8" provided in the
adjustment kit be used and that the
needle is always aligned parallel to the
sides of the pump and penetrates the
self-sealing port straight and through the
"guard ring." only the base of the pump
with its metal "guard ring" has the ability
to be injected safely.
PATIENT PREPARATION
• explain the procedure to the patient.
• lay the patient supine and identify the
location of the control pump inside the
scrotum.
• cleanse the scrotum in accordance with
hospital approved procedure.
NOTE: local anesthesia around the area
may be applied in accordance with hospital
approved procedure.
PRESSURIzATION PROCESS
• Fill the syringe with a sterile saline solution
for injection.
• attach the non-coring needle 25g x 5/8"
to the syringe.
• With syringe pointed upward, flush 1.0ml
of sterile saline solution and expel excess
air.
• Fix the self-sealing port of the control
pump using two fingers pulling the skin taut
over the end of the control pump.
• push the needle slowly through the skin
into the center of the control pump self-
sealing port. just prior to reaching the
