title: [Puncture sets for suprapubic catheter drainage of the bladder].
abstract: Suprapubic fistula catheter drainage (SFC) has numerous important advantages compared with transurethral bladder drainage. Commercial SFC-sets should provide security and comfort to a high degree for patients and users in general, so that they can make profitable use of these advantages. The equipment of SFC-sets should be adapted to the site and circumstances of use. Therefore, we recommend the introduction of defined standard SFC-sets for application in intensive-care units. We describe 16 usual SFC-sets. Every single set possesses certain disadvantages. Improvements, especially as far as trocar and catheter are concerned, are necessary to lead to a further spread of the SFC-method, so that more patients can benefit from the method. Detailed hints for improvements and alterations are provided.
