Abstract
The total number of cells on catheters used for intermittent urinary bladder catheterization is an indicator of the mucosal lesion made by the catheters. Therefore we designed a method for unbiased estimation of the total cell number on catheters based on the stereological fractionator principle and systematic sampling. The method was used on two different types of hydrophilic catheters, on which the same number of cells was found.
