 In this episode, Ari Seirlis (a quadriplegic and former CEO of the Quad Para Association of South Africa) and Mark Brand (a health technology and policy consultant) highlight the importance of proper bladder management protocols and the use of single-use hydrophilic catheters.

Ari shares his personal experience of suffering from recurrent bladder infections and kidney damage due to improper catheter usage and lack of information during rehabilitation. He emphasises the significant improvement in his quality of life after switching to single-use catheters and advocates for individuals with spinal cord injuries to insist on evidence-based bladder management protocols covered by medical aid or insurance.

The discussion also touches on the economic benefits of investing in proper bladder management, consumer rights, and the need for advocacy and policy changes to ensure the well-being of individuals with spinal cord injuries.
