Development of an ex-vivo porcine lower urinary tract model to evaluate the performance of urinary catheters [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Intermittent catheterization is the gold standard method for bladder management in individuals with urinary retention and/or incontinence. It is therefore important to understand the performance of urinary catheters, especially on parameters associated ...

Inhibiting host-protein deposition on urinary catheters reduces associated urinary tract infections [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Microbial adhesion to medical devices is common for hospital-acquired infections, particularly for urinary catheters. If not properly treated these infections cause complications and exacerbate antimicrobial resistance.

Prevalence and appropriateness of indwelling urinary catheters in Japanese hospital wards: a multicenter point prevalence study [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022 Background Indwelling urinary catheters are commonly used in hospitalized patients, which can lead to the development of urinary catheter complications, including catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Limited reports on the appropriateness

Dual-Function Hydrogel Coating on Silicone Urinary Catheters with Durable Antibacterial Property and Lubricity [PDF]
GelsSilicone urinary catheters are broadly employed in medical practice. However, they are susceptible to inducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) due to bacterial adherence to the catheter’s surface, and they exhibit a high friction ...
