There are a number of commercial publications which are very useful tools to both nurses and their patients, regarding catheter management. These include, but are not exclusive to:
Coloplast in their booklet titled “All you need to know about Catheter Care”
BARD in their booklet “The role and management of catheters and collection systems.”
Both these booklets are freely available via the companies and are useful additions to your institutions polices and procedures.
