Cath-A-Cyst: a new urinary catheter

R J Boxer

    The Journal of Urology
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel disposable catheter assembly combines Foley catheter, filiform, and follower advantages. This innovative system aims to reduce trauma and the need for emergency urologic consultation in patients with difficult-to-catheterize urethras.

    Background:

    • Urinary catheterization is a common procedure.
    • Difficult urinary catheterization presents challenges, increasing patient trauma and requiring specialized interventions.
    • Existing methods may not adequately address complex urethral anatomies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new disposable catheter assembly designed for challenging urinary catheterizations.
    • To leverage the benefits of established catheter types into a single, integrated system.
    • To mitigate complications associated with difficult urethral access.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel disposable catheter assembly.
    • Integration of features from Foley catheters, filiform guides, and follower devices.
