Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the catheter was not of good quality and the patient stated that there were issues with them pinching and they were more flimsy.The patient also stated that the catheter fell apart during insertion.Additional information, the customer noted that when the suprapubic catheter is inserted into the patient¿s side, it buckles during insertion and seems to kink, restricting the flow through the catheter since it is more pliable towards the end where it enters into the body.The customer noted that when this occurs, the patient experiences leakage.
