A 24-hour feasibility study of intraurethral valved catheter for bladder management in males with spinal cord injury.

This feasibility study was conducted to evaluate design features of the novel intraurethral valved catheter, Surinate (Urovalve, Inc; Newark, New Jersey). The device extends from the bladder neck to just beyond the external sphincter and contains a valve that can be activated by an external magnet for bladder emptying. Five patients were recruited from the Edward Hines Jr Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital spinal cord injury population.
