Testimonials

What clinicians say..

"Suprapubic catheterisation employing the seldinger technique makes catheter insertion technically easier and safer and consequently facilitates the training of junior clinical staff."

Mr Ruaraidh MacDonagh
Consultant Urological Surgeon
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.

"Suprapubic catheterisation using the seldinger technique offers a safer alternative to the traditional procedure. The suprapubic catheter insertion clinic allows patients the opportunity to have the procedure undertaken under local anaesthetic, thus preventing the risks associated with general anaesthesia in a relaxed out-patient environment".

Angus MacCormick
Nurse Practitioner
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

"Finally SPC insertion has caught up with other blind procedures using the seldinger approach. This is easy to use for all levels."

Odunayo Kalejaiye
Specialist Registrar
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

'Safe and easy to use'

Vivek Kumar
Specialist Registrar
Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield

'Less daunting for an inexperienced person such as myself'

Altaf Mangera
SHO
Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield

'Having used it I would prefer it over all of the alternatives and we have switched over to using it'

Prof Christopher Chapple, BSc, MD, FRCS (Urol), FEBU
Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield
