Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the flow characteristics of 14 different 3-way catheters of varying sizes (18Fr, 20Fr, 22Fr, and 24Fr) from different manufacturers including Rusch, Bardex, Dover, and Mentor using a standardized testing method.
  • Results showed that Rusch catheters generally had superior flow rates compared to Bardex in the 18Fr and 20Fr categories, while no significant differences were found in larger sizes (22Fr and 24Fr) among different brands.
  • Overall, maximal flow rates weren't significantly impacted by increasing size above 20Fr, and Rusch catheters performed the best in an artificial bladder setup for 18Fr and 20Fr sizes
