Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and document real life safety and satisfaction of re-use of urethral catheters for intermittent self catheterization. The study will collect re-used catheters from included patients and compare those to a control group with regard to bacterial contamination and mechanical properties. A four week prospective evaluation will follow where the patients will be given catheters intended for single-use.
