More model informationInvented in the 1950s at the National Spinal Injuries Centre, the Kipper Catheter has an indwelling catheter and a valve to collect urine from the body. Its design helped patients become more independent and mobile as well as drastically reduce infection. This greatly increased life expectancy among early spinal cord injured patients.
