    • Abstract:
      Background: The insertion of a urinary catheter may cause some discomfort or pain. This study was done in order to compare patient-perceived discomfort with two commonly used coated urinary catheters for in-out catheterisation.
      Material and Methods: A total of 196 women were randomised to be catheterised with one of two coated, hydrophilic catheters, either a Lofric or a SpeediCath catheter. Degree of discomfort was recorded on a 10 cm visual analogue scale.
      Results and Interpretation: There was no difference in patient-perceived discomfort between the two catheters. The degree of discomfort was small with both catheters, with a median score of only 0.75 cm on the scale.
