According to the European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) the main benefits of using urinary catheterisation kits are:
- The standardisation of the process: adherence to urinary catheter insertion recommendations.
- The inclusion in the kit/set of pre-connected and sealed urinary catheter systems, the components of which are linked by seals, will ensure that the system remains closed at all times, eliminating the risk of the “human factor” and ensuring adherence to the recommendation.
- Nursing staff efficiency: more quality time for patient care.
- Reduction in CAUTI, reduction in the consumption of antibiotics and the costs associated with such consumption, and the prevention of antibiotic resistance.
