Innovations in indwelling urethral catheterisation

Abstract: The indwelling urethral catheter remains an integral part of contemporary medical care, despite its significant design shortcomings. Urethral catheterisation is responsible for wellrecognised complications including catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), catheter-associated urethral injury (CAUI), catheter blockage, and bladder mucosal irritation. In this narrative review, we provide an update on current innovations in urethral catheter design, aimed at safeguarding against these complications. T… Show more

“…Various surgical procedures, particularly urology, mostly require an indwelling urethral catheter postoperatively. The importance of indwelling urethral catheters is self-evident, yet most patients frequently experience varied degrees of catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD), a phenomenon that appears to be more prevalent in male patients (1)(2)(3). CRBD can intensify postoperative pain and prolong the hospital stay of patients, impeding the progress of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), and there are even reports in the literature that CRBD can increase the incidence of postoperative complications, including surgical incision dehiscence and hemorrhage (4,5).…”

Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are one of the most commonly used invasive devices (Jeffery & Mundy, 2020). About 15%-25% of inpatients require urinary catheterization during their treatment, with a higher rate in the intensive care unit (Loveday et al, 2014).Additionally, 5.4%-23% of people over the age of 65 years receiving home care use long-term catheterization to manage urine drainage (Simpson, 2017;Sørbye et al, 2005).

“…3 For example, 24% of patients placed with short-term catheters develop symptoms related to infection, leading to a mortality rate of 4%. 4 At least 42% of catheters form fibrin sheaths and 20−40% of the catheters placed form a thrombus, resulting in the blockage of catheters. 2 Bacterial infection 1,5−9 and fouling 2,10−13 on the polyurethane surface are the main reasons for surgical failure.…”

“…Polyurethane (PU) catheters are commonly used as implanted medical instruments , but are replaced as frequently as every 7 days because of bacterial infection and blockage in some clinical treatments . For example, 24% of patients placed with short-term catheters develop symptoms related to infection, leading to a mortality rate of 4% . At least 42% of catheters form fibrin sheaths and 20–40% of the catheters placed form a thrombus, resulting in the blockage of catheters .…”
