Despite lack of clear evidence for a cut-off level, increased amounts of postvoid residual urine(>100ml) is an accepted risk factor for UTI in the neurogenic population.1

Why is catheter design important?

Choosing the right catheter for your patients is important to avoid the risk of post-void residual urine.1

How can you help your patients?

Choose an appropriate catheter tailored to your patient1. This includes:

  • The proper length of the catheter (male/female)
  • Proper coating of the catheter
  • Proper placement of the eyelets
  • Catheter stiffness
  • Catheter with/without protecting sleeve (no-touch technique)
