Stanford Study: The Environmental Cost of Catheterization
Researchers at Stanford estimated how much waste is generated by single-use intermittent catheters.
Wellness + HealthWe've done a ton of research on catheters and bladder health as we've worked to revolutionize the intermittent catheter industry - and have decided to share our knowledge with you!

Wellness + HealthFor people who rely on intermittent catheterization (IC), the decision between reusing catheters and using a new one each time isn’t just clinical, it’s personal, practical, and increasingly, environmental. While IC remains a cornerstone for managing neurogenic bladder, the debate around reuse versus single-use catheters has persisted for decades in the U.S.
Wellness + HealthBladder drainage isn’t a modern invention—it’s a story that stretches back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where hollow reeds, metal tubes, and even onion stalks were used to empty the bladder. Those early methods, while often painful and carried high risks of injury and infection, mark the beginning of an evolving journey toward safer, more empowering solutions.
