The condom catheter: urinary tract infection and other complications.

A retrospective study of 64 geriatric patients on an extended care unit at the VA Medical Center strongly suggested that long-term use of a condom catheter drainage system (CCDS) (mean use, 35 months) was regularly associated with urinary tract infection. Common nosocomial pathogens were found, particularly Proteus-Providencia. The CCDS was also associated with significant penile complications. It is hoped that these hazards can be minimized by careful application and monitoring of the CCDS.

The "double condom sign," on a plain film of the abdomen, can be used to identify smugglers who are concealing non-opaque narcotics within the gastrointestinal tract.

An outbreak of Providencia stuartii urinary tract infections. Patients with condom catheters are a reservoir of the bacteria.

We investigated an outbreak of multiple antibiotic-resistant Providencia stuartii urinary tract infections that occurred on a neurology ward. Only patients who had been catheterized became infected. However, approximately 10% of patients with condom catheter urinary drainage systems were colonized, ie, P stuartii was present on their skin and in the urine drainage bags but not in fresh-voided urine. Patient urinals were also contaminated. The outbreak was terminated by segregating infected and colonized patients from other patients who required either external or indwelling urinary catheters and by stopping the practice of exchanging urinals among patients.

Penile oedema induced by continuous condom catheter use and mimicking keloid scar.

Continuous use of condom catheter for urinary incontinence in a patient with neurogenic bladder gave rise to localized chronic oedema on the dorsum of the penis, mimicking keloid scar, and urethral fistula on the ventral surface. These unusual combined complications on the penile surfaces were due to pressure effect.

Induction of abortion by condom-Foley catheter method in pregnant women with intra-uterine foetal death.

To induce abortion in women with intra-uterine foetal death (IUFD), during a two-year period (August 1990 to October 1992), at Yekatit 12 Hospital, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, condom-Foley catheter method (CFCM) with oxytocin, and oxytocin infusion alone were compared. All 25 pregnant women randomly assigned to the CFCM aborted within 24 hr, a 100% success rate with an induction-abortion time interval of 14.6 hr (p < 0.001), whereas among 20 patients who were treated with oxytocin infusion alone, induction failed in all. Repeated induction in the second group resulted in a marked delay of abortion; these patients were crossed over to either combined medical and surgical induction or to the CFCM depending on their cervical status. The rapid cervical dilatation and safe abortion in pregnant women with IUFD make the CFCM a superior procedure to induction of abortion with oxytocin infusion alone. In places where there is no experience with the use of prostaglandins and the agent, which may have undesirable side-effects, is unavailable, the CFCM is a simple cost-effective technique which could be used safely.
