User perception of a new hydrophilic‐coated male urinary catheter for intermittent use

Abstract: AimsThis study investigated user perception and adherence related to a hydrophilic‐coated urinary catheter (LoFric® Origo™), available for male patients who practice intermittent catheterization.DesignThe study had a prospective observational design, including patients from 19 European hospitals.MethodsA total of 416 patients were eligible for the study; 179 experienced catheter users and 237 de novo. Two questionnaires were filled out, one describing background data and a second, 8 weeks later, evaluating cat… Show more

“…It is noteworthy that many (n = 47) had already used a catheter before, and only three were new to CIC treatment. The study by Koeter et al 13 also analyzed the perception of and adherence to the procedure and, although with a different instrument, pointed out results similar to those of this study, when detecting that individuals were satisfied with the ease of insertion and reduction of urethral trauma, and these participants already used some hydrophilic catheter.…”

“…33 Studies are still divided as to whether HPCs are easier or more difficult to handle. 34,35 We hypothesized that individuals with tetraplegia would experience difficulties in handling HPCs due to impaired hand function compared to individuals with paraplegia. While both groups spent a similar time to prepare HPCs (16 vs 15 seconds), individuals with tetraplegia needed significantly more time (67 vs. 21 seconds, p=0.003) to prepare (i.e., unpack and lubricate) non-HPCs, than those with paraplegia.…”
