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 patient¹. 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)
