Why care about residual urine?
Residual urine is important to avoid since it constitutes a risk for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).1
Incorrect IC handling and UTI risk
Removal of the intermittent catheter (IC) before complete bladder emptying is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Incorrect handling of the catheter may lead to incomplete bladder emptying, resulting in residual urine.1
What is recommended by guidelines?
Guidelines recommend that comprehensive training on IC technique should be provided to neurourological patients.2-4
