Catheters and feeding tubes make home care possible for many patients, but they are also the most common source of avoidable infection in home settings. Correct placement matters. So does the far less visible work: daily hygiene, secure fixation, monitoring output, and changing the device on schedule rather than when a problem appears.
Life Line provides both Foley urinary catheterisation and nasogastric tube placement at home in Lahore, for male and female patients, along with ongoing care of catheters and tubes that are already in place. Our nurses also manage suprapubic catheter sites and urostomy bags, and support families caring for a patient with a PEG tube.
For NG tube feeding we do more than insert the tube. We confirm correct placement before every feed, position the patient safely upright to prevent aspiration, calculate and give feeds at the prescribed rate, flush the tube to prevent blockage, and teach the family how to continue between nurse visits with confidence.
What families search for is catheter change at home or peshab ki naali — Foley catheter insertion, removal and scheduled changes, plus NG tube placement, all done at home by a nurse rather than in a hospital.
What catheter care includes
Foley catheterisation
Insertion and scheduled replacement of urinary catheters for male and female patients, using sterile technique.
NG tube placement
Nasogastric tube insertion with placement confirmed before use, and replacement at the correct interval.
NG and PEG tube feeding
Feeds prepared and administered on schedule, with aspiration precautions and tube flushing.
Daily catheter hygiene
Meatal cleaning, bag positioning and drainage — the routine that actually prevents urinary infection.
Output monitoring
Urine volume, colour and clarity recorded so blockage, dehydration or infection is caught early.
Family training
Teaching attendants at home how to empty bags, flush tubes and recognise the signs of a problem.

Catheter Care charges in Lahore — how pricing works
Catheter and tube procedures are charged per visit, with the catheter or tube itself purchased against the prescription. A scheduled change every few weeks is a small, predictable cost; an emergency call for a blocked catheter at midnight is more, and we tell you the figure on the phone before we come.
What you are billed for
Foley catheterisation
Insertion of a urinary catheter using sterile technique, male or female patient.
Scheduled catheter change
A routine change every two to four weeks as your doctor advises. The most economical arrangement.
NG tube placement
Nasogastric tube insertion with position check and feeding instruction for the family.
Urgent or blocked catheter call
Available 24 hours, including nights. Quoted before the visit.
What moves the price up or down
- The type of procedure — catheterisation, change, removal or NG tube
- Whether it is a scheduled visit or an urgent out-of-hours call
- Whether the patient has a history of difficult catheterisation

We do not publish a single flat rate because it would be misleading — the honest figure depends on your patient. Call or WhatsApp us with the diagnosis, what the patient can still do unaided and your area of Lahore, and we will quote a specific number. Whatever is agreed is what you pay; nothing is added to the bill afterwards.
Catheter Care in Lahore — FAQs
How often should a Foley catheter be changed?
Most indwelling urinary catheters are changed every two to four weeks, depending on the type of catheter and the patient’s condition, or sooner if there is blockage or infection. We track the due date for you and advise when a change is needed.
Can an NG tube be placed at home?
Yes. Our nurses place nasogastric tubes at home and confirm correct positioning before any feed is given. If the patient’s condition makes home placement unsafe, we will tell you and recommend doing it under medical supervision instead.
How do you prevent catheter infection?
Through sterile insertion, daily meatal hygiene, keeping the drainage bag below bladder level, never disconnecting the system unnecessarily, ensuring adequate fluid intake and changing the catheter on schedule. Our nurses also train the family in these steps.
Do you provide female nurses?
Yes. We have both male and female staff, and for catheter care we assign a female nurse or female attendant to female patients as a matter of routine — not as a special request. Bathing, catheter care, changing and any procedure needing privacy are always handled by same-gender staff where the family wants that. Tell us when you call on 0302 5286596 so we assign correctly the first time.
What are your charges?
Catheter care is billed by foley catheterisation and scheduled catheter change. Catheter and tube procedures are charged per visit, with the catheter or tube itself purchased against the prescription. A scheduled change every few weeks is a small, predictable cost; an emergency call for a blocked catheter at midnight is more, and we tell you the figure on the phone before we come. The exact figure depends on your case, so call or WhatsApp 0302 5286596 and we will quote it clearly before anything begins — agreed in advance, with nothing added to the bill afterwards.
