Why care about residual urine?

Residual urine is important to avoid since it constitutes a risk for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).1

Incorrect ISC handling and UTI risk

Removal of the Intermittent Self Catheter (ISC) before complete bladder emptying is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Incorrect handling of the catheter may lead to incomplete bladder emptying, resulting in residual urine.1

What is recommended by guidelines?

Guidelines recommend that comprehensive training on ISC technique should be provided to neurourological patients.2-4
