abstract: Intermittent catheterisation is seen as the gold standard for younger people with post void residual urine because there are lower complication rates when compared with indwelling urethral or supra pubic catheters. This study set out to discover whether people over 70, who are rarely considered suitable for intermittent catheterisation, would be able to master the technique.
