  1. Pädiatrische Studie mit Navina-Bewässerungssystem

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    In diesem Publikations-Highlight können Sie über eine Studie über chronische idiopathische Verstopfung bei Kindern lesen und darüber, wie Darmspülungen, auch transanale Irrigation (TAI) genannt, die Unabhängigkeit verbessern und Symptome lindern können.

  2. Friction and hydrophilic catheters

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Urine often has a high concentration of particles and low content of water. This is referred to as high osmolality. Urine osmolality has a direct effect on catheter lubrication and plays an important role for people who use hydrophilic catheters. Catheters with a surface osmolality in balance with urine is key to reducing withdrawal friction.

  3. Hydrophilic catheters and reduced risk of UTI

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Extensive studies support scientific literature claiming that use of hydrophilic catheters reduce urethral trauma and urinary tract infections. This in turn can minimize the need for antibiotics. Because of these benefits, we now know that hydrophilic catheters are one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent long term urological complications in general and UTI in particular.

  4. Hydrophilic catheters and lower risk of hematuria

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    A lubricated catheter is recommended to reduce damage to the urethra and lower the risk of hematuria which is a common complication. A cross-over study comparing different hydrophilic catheters showed an even lower frequency of hematuria in patients who chose LoFric.

  5. Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) - Tiefes anteriores Resektionssyndrom

    key:global.content-type: Webinar

    In diesem Webinar spricht die examinierte Krankenschwester, Uro- und Darmtherapeutin Eva Westling über Symptome nach einer Operation oder Entfernung des Rektums oder des unteren Teils des Darms und deren Behandlung. Um bei der Behandlung von Patienten mit LARS erfolgreich zu sein, ist es auch wichtig, die Auswirkungen dieser Behandlung sowie die Anatomie und Komplexität des kleinen Beckens zu verstehen.

  6. Harnsystem

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Das Harnsystem ist verantwortlich für die Beseitigung von Abfallprodukten und überschüssiger Flüssigkeit aus dem Körper, indem Urin gebildet und ausgeschieden wird.

  7. Scientific review of no-touch catheter / technique

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Introduction of a no-touch catheter/technique for intermittent catheterization seems to be well accepted both by caregivers and patients and it is not necessarily associated with higher costs. On the contrary, it could potentially reduce costs, saving time and errors in the healthcare system and reduce infection complications in general. The clinical evidence level is low for using no-touch technique/catheter to reduce UTIs but current available studies suggest benefits of it.

  8. LoFric - a well-documented catheter

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    With more than 30 years on the market, LoFric has been used and documented in several ways. In addition to efficiently emptying the bladder, LoFric’s versatile use includes treatment and prevention of recurrent strictures, administration of chemotherapy by bladder instillation, and resolution of rare complications.

  9. Dilatation and stricture treatment

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    A urethral stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the urethra and is often caused by trauma or inflammation.2 As catheterization is one cause of strictures, non-traumatic catheterization technique and catheter material are essential parts in preventing the occurrence of these complications.3 Common treatment methods for urethral strictures are urethrotomy and intermittent catheterization/dilatation

  10. Patient preference & adherence - a key role in a successful catheterization treatment

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Patient adherence plays a key role in a successful and cost-effective catheterization treatment. A patient who feels part of the decision-making, in control of his options and how they work with his lifestyle is more inclined to stick with his therapy and subsequently experience a good clinical outcome.

  11. Long-term safety of intermittent catheterization

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Single-use hydrophilic catheters were developed in the early eighties to address long-term complications of intermittent catheterisation seen when reusing plastic catheters with add-on lubrication. As reported by Wyndaele and Maes and Perrouin-Verbe et al.
