A sterile catheterization kit or tray is necessary to prevent infection and ensure proper insertion of the catheter. A clean catheter and rubber gloves are not enough to prevent infection. Solutions to sterilize the urethra and vagina are not necessary and may cause irritation or harm to the patient.
