1 Practical, Comfortable & Reliable Continence Care

2 Selecting your GB Libra Sheath The GB Libra Sheath is available in three styles providing a practical, comfortable and reliable means of continence care Style 1: Standard A standard length Sheath with centrally positioned adhesive. GB Libra Sheath Standard are suitable for men with an average length of penis. Style 2: Pop On A shorter length Sheath combined with a maximum adhesive area will provide men with a short or retracted penis a suitable Sheath option. Style 3: Wide Band A standard length Sheath with greater adhesive area to maximise security - particularly for those who are more active and have had trouble keeping other Sheaths in place.

3 Fitting Guide Sizing Using the GB Libra Sheath measuring wheel that is provided, gently place the cut-outs over the widest part of your penis. The cut out that fits the closest gives an indication which sheath would be appropriate for you to use. If you feel you are between sizes, go with the size that feels the most secure. Pubic Hair Slide one of the hair protectors down your penis, ensuring that as much pubic hair as possible is held behind the protector before applying the GB Libra Sheath. If necessary, trim any hair from the shaft of your penis and around the base. DO NOT shave as this could cause skin irritation. Guidelines DO wash and dry the penile area thoroughly. DO NOT use talc or cream. DO NOT retract the foreskin if uncircumcised. DO use a GB Soft Skin Barrier Wipe, if required, applying to the shaft of the penis (avoid the glands) and allow to dry. DO use a Hair Protector. DO roll the sheath along the shaft of the penis. Hold for 3 seconds to ensure even adhesion. DO change your sheath on a daily basis. DO use warm soapy water to remove sheath. If this becomes painful or difficult, use GB Soft Skin Medical Adhesive Remover. DO NOT continue usage if any soreness or irritation occurs - leave the sheath off and contact your nurse.
