Study of a Urethral Catheter Coated With Eluting Silver Salts (SUCCESS)

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Catheterization

In brief

Urinary catheters are often needed in hospital patients, but their use can increase the chance that a catheter associated urinary tract infection (called a CAUTI) may occur. This study will try to determine if patients who get a new silver coated catheter will have slower to time to development of a CAUTI compared to patients who get an uncoated catheter.
