Reports of the use of IUC alternatives and adjuncts are
summarized in Figure 1. The most common IUC alternatives were
commodes, with 93% of respondents reporting using them always
or frequently. Straight catheters and condom catheters were used
less often, (always in 33% and frequently in 25%). Female urinals
were reportedly never used by 85% of respondents, with access
cited as a limiting factor. Among adjuncts, bladder scanners were
always or frequently used by 80% of respondents. Only 4% reported
never using a catheter-securing device in their hospital. Access to
a bladder scanner and catheter-securing device were also cited as
problems frequently in 55% of respondents and always in 22% of
respondents.
