Research summary
Current catheters (foley type) can cause urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and decrease quality of life. People who use catheters for long time can experience CAUTIs, and many of the more significant complications such as lack of mobility, recurring infections, including antibiotic-resistant infections, depression, distress, and lack of sleep.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the cymactive™ catheter device (CCD) compared with foley type devices. It will also be tested if the use of novel CCD may lead to a better solution for patients, healthcare providers, and the families of patients who care for those with long-term catheter needs. CCD will be implemented for 30 days before removal and replacement with another CCD. This process will be repeated in 3 cycles; each cycle consists of 30-days. This work may provide insights on management catheter-associated urinary tract infections to achieve a better care of patients.
