STUDY: Hydrophilic Coated Catheters

ARTICLE I Urine catheters

Hydrophilic Coated Catheters

The advantages and benefits using hydrophilic coated catheters are many and various. The low friction and viscous surface of the catheter are the most obvious, and in human medicine these catheters, because of their many benefits, have been used for a long time.

In the first study below, the conclusion is clear: “Hydrophilic-coated catheters perform better than uncoated catheters with regard to haematuria and preference.”

This conclusion is backed up in the next study, where the conclusion also is very clear: “The results indicate that there is a beneficial effect regarding UTI when using hydrophilic-coated catheters.”

Learn more about the many and various advantages and benefits using hydrophilic coated catheters in these study highlights.

STUDY: Hydrophilic-coated catheters for intermittent catheterisation reduce urethral micro trauma: a prospective, randomised, participant-blinded, crossover study of three different types of catheters.

OBJECTIVE: To compare two hydrophilic-coated (SpeediCath and LoFric and one uncoated gel-lubricated catheter (InCare Advance Plus) concerning withdrawal friction force and urethral micro trauma.

METHODS: 49 healthy male volunteers participated in this prospective, randomised, blinded, crossover study of three different bladder catheters. The withdrawal friction force was measured, and urine analysis of blood, nitrite and leucocytes, microbiological analysis of urine cultures and subjective evaluation of the catheters were performed. RESULTS: 40 participants completed the study and were included in the analysis. SpeediCath exerted a significantly lower mean withdrawal friction force and work than the gel-lubricated uncoated catheter, whereas LoFric exerted a significantly higher mean friction force than both of the other catheters. The hydrophilic catheters caused less microscopic haematuria and less pain than the gel-lubricated uncoated catheter. Furthermore, 93% of the participants preferred the hydrophilic catheters. CONCLUSION: Hydrophilic-coated catheters perform better than uncoated catheters with regard to haematuria and preference. SpeediCath, but not LoFric, exerts less withdrawal friction force than InCare Advance Plus.
