First detailed in 1972, clean intermittent catheterization has remained a cornerstone of urological care for more than half a century. Despite major advances in device design and materials, one challenge continues to stand out: ensuring patients can confidently and consistently adhere to the procedure.

In this ICS Podcast episode, host Daniele Bianchi, urologist from Italy, explores the real‑world barriers to clean intermittent catheterization adherence. He speaks with Enrico Finazzi Agrò, urologist (Italy), and Angie Rantell, specialist nurse (UK), who share their clinical experience, insights, and practical suggestions for improving patient engagement and support. Together, they reveal what truly makes a difference for patients, and what the urology community can learn moving forward.
