The Impact of Irrisept in Reducing Urinary Tract Infection During Urethral Catheter Removal.

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Tract Infection, Antibiotic, Catheter Infection

In brief

Given the high burden of post-catheter removal UTIs, this study aims to evaluate Irrisept instillation as a non-antibiotic intervention to reduce infection rates. By comparing Irrisept to saline irrigation, the study will provide critical insights into the efficacy of antiseptic bladder irrigation in preventing UTIs while minimizing antibiotic use. If successful, this approach could lead to new clinical guidelines for catheter removal protocols, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
