Advances in clean intermittent self-catheterisation: impact on trauma and urinary tract infections

Janet Place. Br J Nurs. .

Abstract

Intermittent self-catheterisation with hydrophilic coated catheters carries the risk of trauma, bleeding and infection. However, evidence suggest that these risks can be minimised with a new generation of catheters that stay lubricated over time, allowing for comfortable and safe insertion and withdrawal.
