Clinical and scientific evidence
Access clinical, usability and functional studies related to T-Control®.
Professional area
Designed by nurses, for clinical reality.
T-Control® is an indwelling urinary catheter with an integrated flow-control valve designed to support controlled urinary drainage and simplify catheter management.
Information intended for healthcare professionals
View evidence
Value proposition
Four design characteristics of T-Control®
Integrated flow control
The integrated valve allows urinary flow to be opened and closed directly from the catheter.
Controlled drainage
Allows controlled bladder filling and emptying instead of continuous free drainage when clinically appropriate.
Drainage bag compatibility
T-Control® can be connected to a urinary drainage bag for continuous drainage when clinically indicated.
Clinical handling
The flow-control mechanism is integrated into the catheter. Insertion and removal must be performed by healthcare professionals in accordance with the Instructions for Use and the aseptic technique established by the healthcare facility.
Technique & training
Official training video, Best Practices Programme and simulation-based learning developed with nursing teams and universities.
Perspective
What professionals say
Healthcare professionals share their experience with conventional urinary catheterisation and the practical challenges that may arise in day-to-day life with some of the alternatives used by patients, such as catheter plugs.

Clinical and scientific evidence
Our development has been accompanied from the beginning by preclinical work, usability studies, clinical research and health-economic evaluation, in collaboration with hospitals and universities.
Patient and user experience
- 2024Indwelling catheter patient experiences and the potential usability and acceptance of the T-Control® prototype urinary catheterPatient Experience Study – International Journal of Urological Nursing (IJUN)This study explores the experiences of people living with an indwelling urinary catheter and the emotional and practical dimensions associated with its use. Participants were also introduced to and handled a T-Control® prototype, providing feedback on perceived usability, ease of handling and potential acceptance. It offers useful insight into urinary catheterisation from the patient perspective.View publication →
- 2023Descriptive Study of Current Urinary Management in People with Spinal Cord Injury and Evaluation of the New T-Control® CatheterDescriptive Study – ENFURO JournalThis descriptive study examines challenges associated with urinary management in people with spinal cord injury and explores their perceptions of available options. Participants were also introduced to the T-Control® concept and provided feedback on its potential usefulness and usability. The findings reflect participant perceptions and expectations, not clinical efficacy outcomes for the device.View publication →
Healthcare professional surveys
- 2023Practices Related to Bladder Catheterisation Among Swedish Health Professionals: A Questionnaire SurveyHealthcare Professional Survey – International Journal of Urological Nursing (IJUN)This questionnaire survey explores practices, difficulties and challenges related to urinary catheterisation among Swedish healthcare professionals. The findings provide context on issues such as procedural demands, maintaining technique and difficulties that may arise during catheterisation, helping to identify unmet needs in urinary catheter management.View publication →
- 2024Practices Related to Urinary Catheterisation: A Survey of Spanish Healthcare ProfessionalsHealthcare Professional Survey – ENFURO JournalThis questionnaire survey examines the experience of Spanish healthcare professionals during urinary catheterisation and the difficulties encountered in routine practice. Issues such as maintaining technique, handling the system and accidental exposure to urine help identify ongoing challenges in the procedure and areas where innovation may address unmet needs.View publication →
Simulation and usability
- 2023Evaluating possible improvements in indwelling urinary catheter insertion from nurses' point of view: A pilot comparative study of simulated insertion between the novel T-Control® and a Foley-type catheterSimulation Study – International Journal of Urological Nursing (IJUN)In this pilot simulation study, nurses with previous catheterisation experience compared the insertion procedure using T-Control® and conventional Foley systems. Participants assessed aspects related to handling, usability and preference in the simulated setting, providing useful information on the healthcare professional experience during the procedure.View publication →
- 2024Comparative simulated insertion between T-Control® and Foley-type catheter in nursing students with no prior trainingSimulation Study – Teaching and Learning in NursingThis simulation study evaluated the use of T-Control® and a conventional Foley catheter by nursing students with no previous urinary catheterisation training. Participants assessed ease of use and selected functional characteristics of T-Control®, providing information on usability in a controlled learning environment.View publication →
- 2024Comparative study of bladder catheterisation using the Foley-type catheter and the T-Control® catheter: a simulation study.Comparative Study – ENFURO JournalThis simulation study compared urinary catheterisation with T-Control® and a conventional Foley catheter in final-year nursing students with previous experience. In the simulated setting, participants assessed aspects such as satisfaction, handling, procedural control and maintenance of technique, providing additional information about device usability.View publication →
