Self-catheterisation describes the process of emptying your bladder with the help of a catheter. The sterile use is crucial for minimising the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Users with low dexterity issues have severe problems using catheters correctly, especially in a wheelchair. finGrip helps users with low dexterity by shifting movement to more proximal joints, allowing for more controlled and hygienic use. The discrete single-use cassette uses plastics only where essential as a sterile barrier, thus minimizing waste.
