[Results of urological evaluation of a suprapublic catheter set (author's transl)].

Well known hazards of urethral catheterisation as well as recent clinical reports of suprapublic catheterisation were reasons for the evaluation of a disposable set for suprapublic catheterisation referring to about 100 urological patient hitherto. Its positive results recommend the further use of this set instead of urethral catheterisation observing contraindications for suprapubic puncture as well as the general need for elective indication for both ways of vesical catheterisation. Preparation for and procedure of suprapubic catheterisation as well as catheter care is described.
