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 patient. 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)
