Blockage of indwelling urinary catheters: the roles of urinary composition, the catheter, medication and diet [PDF]
Spinal Cord, 1993 The aim of this work was to study factors related to the blockage of indwelling urinary catheters. There were 40 patients with indwelling catheters, 20 of whom had catheters that blocked frequently. The other 20 were trouble free at the time of our study. The type and gauge of catheter and frequency of events were recorded.

Urinary Catheter-Associated Infections [PDF]
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012 Catheter-acquired urinary infection is the most common device-associated healthcare-acquired infection. Although most patients are asymptomatic, symptomatic infection may occur and is associated with increased morbidity and costs. Long-term indwelling catheters are associated with more complex microbiology and greater morbidity than short-term ...

Adherence of bacteria to urinary catheters
Urological Research, 1982The adherence of 3H-labelled gram-negative bacilli to different urinary catheter materials was studied using an in vitro method. Adherence was found to be significantly less to siliconized rubber than to pure latex or teflon coated rubber. Adherence was altered by variations in incubation pH, time, and bacterial concentration; however, incubation ...

Cytotoxicity of Latex Urinary Catheters
British Journal of Urology, 1985Summary— After an epidemic of severe urethral strictures in cardiac surgery patients, all brands of latex catheters marketed in Finland were investigated for cellular toxicity with eluates made from the catheters. Four of the seven brands, including the one involved in the stricture cases, showed marked cytotoxicity and inhibited almost all cell growth

Strategies for the development of the urinary catheter
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2007Indwelling urinary catheters are utilized in the management of a wide range of conditions both in an acute and a chronic setting. However, utilization of this type of device is associated with a number of issues, including an increased propensity to develop bacteriuria, symptomatic infection and also encrusted deposits on the device. The development of

Urinary Catheter-Associated Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2018Catheter-associated urinary tract infection remains one of the most prevalent, yet preventable, health care-associated infections. General prevention strategies include strict adherence to hand hygiene and antimicrobial stewardship. Duration of urinary catheterization is the most important modifiable risk factor.

Although often a necessary intervention, urinary catheters are the leading cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Avoidance of prolonged or any bladder catherization is recommended if possible.

Irrigation of indwelling urinary catheters
Urology, 1983Patients with chronic indwelling urinary catheters were studied to determine whether or not catheter irrigation with a sterile nonbacteriostatic solution should be part of routine care. One thousand catheter days were studied with catheters irrigated half of the time.
