- At the World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology, Bruce Gao presents a study characterizing the lubricity of various urological catheters using a tribometer and a novel urethral tissue holder. The research tests 12 14 French catheters against porcine urethral segments, measuring the coefficient of friction to determine lubricity. Dr. Gao highlights that the Cook Medical Flexor Ureteral Acce...

- Diane Newman discusses the innovation of materials used in intermittent catheters. In the data published this year, urinary retention patients had better outcomes with hydrophilic-coated intermittent catheters. There are several types of hydrophilic catheters and this review provides an overview. Biographies: Diane K. Newman, DNP FAAN BCB-PMD , Urologic Nurse Practitioner, Adjunct Professor of Uro...

- Multiple intermittent catheterization attempts can cause anxiety, stress, and can traumatize the urethra. Diane Newman discusses the importance of understanding the benefits of the catheter tip to eliminate difficulty with inserting a catheter for intermittent catheterization. Polished, smooth eyelets may decrease urethral trauma from repeated catheterizations. Biographies: Diane K. Newman, DNP FA...

- Diane Newman presents new embedded technology used in hydrophilic catheters for intermittent catheterizations. FeelClean™ Technology with a GentleCath™ Glide has a hydrophilic coating embedded in the catheter surface. The low friction hydrophilic catheter has a smooth, slippery surface and is designed to make cathing easier. The FeelClean™ Technology is designed to reduce the residuals and mess le...

- In this short video demonstration, Diane Newman highlights Convatec GentleCath™ Glide No-touch catheters. No-touch catheters also referred to as touch-free catheters are designed to keep the process of self-catheterization more sterile. These catheters are embedded technology, with a smooth, slippery surface and are designed with contamination prevention in mind. Biographies: Diane K. Newman, DNP,...

- In this short demonstration video, Diane Newman shares two types of uncoated catheters used for intermittent self-catheterization when an individual has issues with urinary retention. Uncoated catheters require lubrication to be applied to them prior to application to prevent trauma to the urethra. Also in this video, Diane shows the Twist by Cure Medical catheter, a shorter catheter for women wit...

- In this short demonstration video, Diane Newman shares features of the Cure Medical closed catheter system. This sterile, single-use, unisex Cure Catheter Closed System features a pre-lubricated straight or Coude catheter tip with an integrated 1500 ml collection bag. It is offered in a single and a kit configuration used to safely catheterize yourself. Closed catheter systems include everything y...

- In this short demonstration video, Diane Newman shares different features of the Convatec and of the Cure Medical intermittent catheters. Intermittent catheterization is an effective solution to emptying the bladder for those individuals who cannot empty their bladder on their own. Dr. Newman shows different catheters and talks about why it is important to consider the length of the catheter as we...

- In this short demonstration video, Diane Newman shares two types of self-intermittent catheters that can be inserted several times a day, for just long enough to drain the bladder, and then be removed. She highlights Convatec as well as Cure Medical catheters. Biographies: Diane K. Newman, DNP, ANP-BC, FAAN , Adjunct Professor of Urology in Surgery, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Penns...

- Diane Newman presents a state-of-the-art lecture on the evidence to support the use of urinary catheters for intermittent catheterization. She identifies the indications in short and long-term complications of intermittent catheterization. She also classifies the components of intermittent catheterization, differentiates each catheter reuse and single use, identifies current evidence-based researc...
