Purpose Data on urethral catheter related injuries are sparse. To highlight the dangers
inherent in traumatic urethral catheterization we prospectively monitored the incidence, cost …

Purpose There are no prospective data describing the incidence and spectrum of long-term
complications associated with traumatic urethral catheterisation (UC). We prospectively …

Methods A prospective audit was performed to calculate incidence, morbidity, and costs
associated with iatrogenic UC injury from January to July 2015. Educational workshops …

Cryopreservation is required to preserve the native properties of tissue for prolonged
periods of time. In this study, we evaluate the impact that 4 different cryopreservation …

We study the influence of residual stress on the static and dynamic characteristics of a
spherical structure. We consider a shrink-fitted compound sphere, where residual stress is …

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of a novel “safety-valve” device for preventing catheter
related urethral trauma during urethral catheterization (UC). To assess the opinions of …

Background Inflating the balloon of Foley catheter in urethra is a complication of urethral
catheterisation. We report five patients in whom this complication occurred because of …

Introduction Technique is vital to prevent urethral trauma during urethral catheterisation
(UC). Education programmes are helpful but are not compulsory and safe UC remains …

We used a safety-valve (Trans-Urethral Catheterisation Safety Valve, Class Medical,
Limerick, Ireland) to prevent urethral trauma due to inflation of the anchoring balloon in the …

Aims Intraurethral catheter balloon inflation is a substantial contributor to significant catheter-
related urethral injury. A novel safety valve has been designed to prevent these balloon …
