This chapter summarizes the landmark experience of introducing clean intermittent catherization in a small case series of pediatric and adult patients with incomplete bladder emptying due to various etiologies. Patients were taught to self-catheterize themselves after having washed their hands, or their mothers were instructed to do so. All adult patients reported that control of their urinary difficulties helped them return to “live a normal, happy life.” The pediatric patients remained afebrile and continent, without urinary tract infections during the study period. Most adult patients also remained free from urinary tract infections during the study period. This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a clean, non-sterile approach to intermittent catheterization.
