Clean intermittent self-catheterisation is a common procedure undertaken by people with bladder dysfunction. However, it is not without its complications, the main one being urinary tract infection. The most common causes of urinary tract infections are poor hygiene, technique and adherence, excessive post-void residual urine and bladder trauma. A catheter with new Micro-hole Zone Technology has been developed, which can potentially improve bladder emptying and minimise these complications. A case study is used to illustrate its effects in practice.
清洁间歇性自我导尿是膀胱功能障碍患者常见的操作。但该操作并非没有并发症，其主要并发症为尿路感染。尿路感染最常见的原因是卫生条件差、操作技术和顺应性差、残余尿量过多和膀胱创伤。现已开发出一种带有新型微孔区技术的导尿管，该导尿管可能会改善膀胱排空并最大限度地减少这些并发症。本文通过病例研究来阐明其实际效果。
