A randomized cross‐over study comparing the use of a catheter valve and a leg‐bag in urethrally catheterized male patients

Abstract

Most patients preferred to use the CV, reporting that it felt more comfortable and discreet, and many patients did not like the sensation of urine 'sloshing about' when using the leg-bag. Some patients using the CV were troubled by nocturnal frequency. In these patients we suggest that a combination of a valve during the day and an overnight bag may be the ideal solution.
