ClinConnect Summary

The Catheter in the Prevention of Urinary Tract Infections and Crystallization Study (CPUTICS) is a clinical trial that aims to compare two types of urinary catheters: Parylene-coated catheters and silicone catheters. The goal is to see which type of catheter better prevents urinary tract infections and the formation of crystals in the urine. This study is important because urinary catheters are often used in patients who need help urinating, and infections can be a serious concern.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have had a urinary catheter in place for at least 14 days. However, there are some conditions that may prevent someone from joining, such as having a urinary tract infection before starting the catheter or having certain medical issues like kidney problems or allergies to silicone. If eligible, participants will be asked to sign a consent form, which means they fully understand the study and agree to take part. Since this trial is not yet recruiting, more information will be available when it starts.
