  1. Urinary Tract Infections - a sequential explanation

    key:global.content-type: Webinar

    Urinary tract infections are complex and occur as a result of interactions between the uropathogen and host and involves several processes as well as many different risk factors. The most common bacteria found to cause UTIs is Escherichia coli (E. coli), about 90 percent of the time. Watch this descriptive stepwise animation for a clear understanding of the sequential process of how a UTI occurs.

  3. Scientific Review of Transanal Irrigation in Children

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Bowel problems in children are common, up to 29% of children can be affected by functional constipation and functional fecal incontinence, where the symptom origin is not known.

  4. Scientific Review of Reuse vs Single-Use Catheters

    key:global.content-type: Article

    A surprisingly high number of patients reuses catheters intended for single-use every day putting them at risk for unnecessary complications. Single-use hydrophilic catheters for intermittent catheterization lower the risk for short- and long-term complications and are a convenient and preferred choice for many patients.

  5. Scientific Review of No-Touch Catheter / Technique

    key:global.content-type: Article

    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.

  6. Scientific Review of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are common in the hospital setting with consequential morbidity and mortality. The risk of bacterial adhesion and invasion of the urinary tract increases with use of an indwelling catheterization and may be reduced by adopting intermittent catheterization using hydrophilic single-use catheters.
