AI Article Synopsis
- Intermittent self-catheterisation using hydrophilic coated catheters can lead to risks such as trauma, bleeding, and infection.
- Newer catheter designs aim to reduce these risks by remaining lubricated for longer periods.
- This improved lubrication helps ensure a more comfortable and safer experience during insertion and withdrawal.
Article 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.
