Managing Permanent Catheterization with Uro-Tainer Suby G

The Challenge of Permanent Catheterization: Permanent catheterization seldom comes without complications, often leading to a significant number of hospital visits. While the maintenance of a permanent catheter is primarily the responsibility of healthcare professionals during hospital stays, challenges arise when patients return home.

The Issue of Repeated Blockages: Recurring catheter blockages affect 40-50% of patients with permanent catheters, causing distress to both patients and caregivers. Dealing with urine leakage due to a blocked catheter, wet clothes, and furniture becomes a daily challenge. Moreover, the pain resulting from urine retention adds to the overall discomfort.

The Costly Impact on Healthcare Systems: Repeated catheter blockages pose a financial burden on healthcare systems. Maintenance programs for catheters are more manageable compared to sudden home or hospital visits for catheter changes.

Addressing the Problem with Uro-Tainer Suby G: Understanding the causes of catheter blockage and adopting proper management strategies can reduce the frequency of blockages. Uro-Tainer Suby G, part of B Braun's Uro-Tainer technology, has been used in clinical practice for over 25 years.

What is Uro-Tainer Suby G: Uro-Tainer Suby G is a solution designed to replace typical bladder washouts using syringes with normal saline. This innovative approach aims to:

• Reduce the risk of infection.
• Prevent excessive pressure on the bladder walls during washouts.

The Benefits of Uro-Tainer Suby G: Proven to:

• Decrease the frequency of catheter changes.
• Prolong the lifespan of permanent catheters.
• Prevent and eliminate encrustations, averting the need for abrupt catheter changes that can be painful for patients.

Clinical Evidence: A study presented at the 41st Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Continence Society showcased the effectiveness of Uro-Tainer Suby G in managing catheterization-related challenges in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Patient Guidance: Patients should seek advice from their healthcare professionals to determine the most suitable therapeutic option for their condition.

Uro-Tainer Suby G is not just a solution; it's a proactive approach to enhancing the quality of life for those managing permanent catheterization.
