"Neurologic disease and injuries can have a dramatic impact on bladder function as one of the complications of the disorder.  It not only affects the patient physically but can impact the quality-of-life for the patient, as well as, the patient's family and caregivers.  With the newly introduced T-SPeC® procedure, patients can now, for the first time, have access to a suprapubic tube in less than 5 minutes, eliminating serious complications associated with other methods for placing suprapubic tubes.

The T-SPeC® procedure allows physicians to eliminate the need for an open surgical procedure for the obese patient, as well as, the neurologic disease patient, including patients with a neurogenic bladder.  Clinical studies confirm the benefits of suprapubic catheterization that include significantly lower infection rates for both short and long-term use and the elimination of common serious injuries associated with urethral catheterization.

Patient preference studies show that users prefer suprapubic tubes over transurethral catheterization due to reduced pain, discomfort and improved quality-of-life. Some patients can even eliminate the use of diapers and pads as a result of this procedure.  Earlier intervention can play a key role in reducing complications from urethral catheters which may cause bladder sphincter injury and urethral erosion resulting in perpetual urine leakage."
