A new device for self-catheterisation in wheelchair-bound women.
The Deavin-Hunt device is designed to help paraplegic and incontinent women to catheterise themselves whilst in a wheelchair. Such patients with neuropathic bladder might otherwise be unable to use intermittent catheterisation, an effective method of controlling incontinence and preserving the kidneys.
