Urinary catheters: What type do men and their nurses prefer?

Article Abstract:

Both patients and nursing staff find condom urinary catheters preferable to indwellling catheters for patient comfort. Dislodging of the preferred catheters and leaking are recognized as major drawbacks, however. To investigate desirability of differing urinary catheters a patient and nurse survey study has been carried out using convenience sampling and 104 patients with mean age of 71 completed the interviews. A condom catheter that is more secure should be developed.
