Catheters have evolved from natural materials to modern plastics with hydrophilic coatings. The new Hollister InstantCath offers water-free self-lubrication for intermittent catheterization, improving patient choice.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Urinary catheterization has a long history, with materials evolving over centuries.
  • Early materials included reeds, gold, and silver, followed by stainless steel.
  • Modern advancements include PVC, plastic catheters, and hydrophilic coatings for lubrication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the Hollister InstantCath, a novel self-lubricating catheter.
  • To assess its suitability for clean, intermittent self-catheterization (CISC).

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical catheter materials and development.
  • Introduction of the Hollister InstantCath technology.
  • Assessment of patient reception and clinical utility.

Main Results:
