Real-life Clinical Experience With Ialuadapter Study (Ialuadapter)

August 1, 2024 updated by: Dick Janssen, Radboud University Medical Center

Real-life Clinical Experience With a Minimally Invasive Syringe Adapter for Catheter Free Instillation of Intravesical Treatments

A retrospective study from a single center was performed. Quantitative and qualitative data was obtained on the use of the syringe adapter (IALUADAPTER®) in 61 patients with IC/BPS (n=48), rUTI (n=6) and mixed /other diagnoses (including OAB; n= 7) who were receiving intravesical therapy. The evaluation period was 6 months during 2018-2019. Reasons for trying the syringe adapter, reasons for continuing with it and occurrence of UTIs before and during the evaluation period were recorded. In addition, 3 year follow-up data were obtained to assess long-term usage of the syringe adapter.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Introduction Intravesical treatment is currently dependent on catheterization which can cause urethral discomfort and risk of urinary tract infections in selected patient groups such as interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI). This study describes real-life clinical experience of a minimally invasive syringe adapter (Ialudapter®) for catheter-free instillation of intravesical treatment.
