When the instrument is inthe bladder, its pointmay be moved freelyfrom side to side by partlyrotating the handle. The instrument should be withdrawnwith the same slownessand care with which itwas introduced. Notraction is needed. Themotions used in intro-duction are simply re-versed. The handle ofthe instrument is lightly caught, and without traction made to describe the arc of a circle untilit touches the abdomen over the linea alba. It is then carried aroundto the groin, and, by a tilting motion, unhooked from the urethra,ending exactly where it commenced along the groin, the handle low,the point high.
