More about me...
Mr Roger Feneley is an Emeritus Consultant Urologist to the North Bristol NHS Trust and Visiting Professor at the University of the West of England. His special interest has focused on bladder dysfunction with the founding of the Bristol Urodynamic Unit in 1971; this exposed the high prevalence of urinary incontinence, particularly amongst older people. In 1998 he founded the BioMed Centre within the Bristol Urological Institute to improve the care of patients with intractable urinary incontinence and in 2005 this became the BioMed Healthcare Technology Cooperative funded by the Department of Health. He initiated the 21st Century Catheter Project in conjunction with the Bladder and Bowel Foundation to seek user support in designing a urine collection system which would mimic normal bladder function with cyclical filling and emptying.

But nowadays they go to school with a catheter in their pocket and they just perform intermittent self-catheterisation. And they’re able to empty the bladder completely and they manage this without experiencing serious infections in most cases. That is rare.

This is an intermittent catheter and it is coated with a lubricious surface so that if you just pour a little water into the package, it wets the surface of the catheter and that makes it very slippery. And you just then can take the catheter, and this can be passed into the urethra and the bladder drained.

The alternative to the catheter valve is a urine collection bag. This is normally worn on the leg if the patient is ambulant and able to walk around. So this is the leg bag, urine collection bag and these straps go around the calf of the leg. The problem with the urine collection bag is it fills with urine and, as it fills with urine, it becomes heavier and, as it becomes heavier, it can tend to slip down the leg. So there are various forms of device that maintain it on the leg. One is using a sleeve and they can tuck it into a sleeve, rather like a stocking.
