Abstract:
We report on the use of a new device, the catheter limiter, to facilitate clean intermittent catheterization. The device limits the length of catheter entering the urethra. This provides a means to reduce the risk of mechanical injury and perforation, minimizes incomplete emptying, and improves safety and patient acceptance of intermittent catheterization.
