Coping with life

Helping you to manage your urinary retention

Urinary retention can be caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract or by neurological problems that interfere with signals between the brain and the bladder. An effective solution may be the intermittent urinary catheterization, which can be done yourself or another person.

Self-catheterisation for an independent active life

The solution for many people affected by urinary dysfunction may be intermittent self-catheterisation. This procedure allows to empty the bladder and to preserve the proper functioning of the kidneys.

Female catheterisation

The female urethra is around three to four cm long. You can choose between mini or standard length and different intermittent catheter types, depending on your individual preference.

Male catheterisation

Intermittent catheters for men vary in size and type and are available with two different catheter tips. So you can choose the version that suits you best.
