Micro-Hole Zone Catheters Bolster Middle East & Africa Intermittent Catheters Market

UTIs are common complications associated with intermittent catheterization (CIC), which hampers individuals’ quality of life and adds to their healthcare expenditures. Residual urine, presumably related to the intermittent catheter's design, has been found as one of several risk factors for infections. Micro-hole zone catheters (MHZCs) have been developed to address the issue of incomplete bladder emptying. MHZCs include a drainage zone with multiple micro-holes from the tip and extending down the catheter's tube, contrary to conventional eyelet catheters (CEC) that typically have two drainage eyelets by the catheter tip. Micro-hole drainage zone catheters are claimed to reduce the probability of early flow stoppages in intermittent catheter users. As a result, the drainage is typically unbroken, ensuring bladder emptying regardless of the user’s approach. Further, avoiding mucosal suctions eliminates the need for catheter repositioning and lowers the risk of mucosal microtrauma. In February 2023, Coloplast introduced Luja, a new catheter for males that redefines bladder emptying. Luja's unique design facilitates complete bladder emptying in a single free flow and represents a paradigm shift within intermittent catheterization. Thus, the advantages related to micro-hole intermittent catheters are expected to bring new intermittent catheter market trends in the coming years.
