'Fear' Survey on Urinary Catheterizations to Be Released on May 3

WHAT:

Results from the 2016 Urinary Catheter Fear Survey, a national snapshot of how different demographics feel about urinary catheterizations.

WHO:

ORC International on behalf of PercuVision, who will be exhibiting at the American Urological Association's Annual Meeting in San Diego, Calf. May 6-10, 2016 (Booth #4943); Errol Singh, M.D., CEO of PercuVision and a leading urologist, is available for media interviews to discuss the survey findings.

WHEN:

Survey results issued on May 3, 2016 at 5:30 a.m. PST and available at www.PercuVision.com, as well as through PR Newswire or via e-mail upon media request.

WHY:

Research finds that 20 percent of hospital patients undergo a urinary catheterization, which is the second most common procedure following intravenous therapy. The procedure, however, often leads to complications including infections. The goal of the survey is to better understand the public's fears and elevate the discussion around Foley catheters.
