Catheter care rinse study to prevent infections and improve comfort
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a catheter “rinse” product (UroTainer) or plain saline to help keep a permanent catheter working and reduce infection risk. It also looks at comfort and quality of life for people who have had catheter problems like blockage or buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old and have a permanent catheter in place (through the bladder area and/or urethra).
- You either have not previously used a catheter rinse method, or you have previously used NaCl (saline) or UroTainer.
- You have had a catheter problem before, such as stopping due to clogging or buildup—or you are willing to do a structured rinse break if you’ve already used rinses.
- The study is not for cases where clogging happens from incrustations (buildup).
- You must be able to sign consent and understand the study; the study requires understanding Danish.
- You cannot have urothelial (bladder lining) cancer, bladder or kidney stones that need treatment, be pregnant or breastfeeding, have dementia without a capable consenting relative, or join another interventional trial at the same time.

This study tests a new type of urinary catheter (called 'NowCath Foley') to see if it reduces infections and blockages compared to standard catheters. If you use a long-term catheter and are under community nursing care, this might be relevant for you.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
This study collects urine samples and health information from people who use intermittent catheters to empty their bladder. The goal is to build a biobank for future research on urinary tract infections.
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
This trial tests if using Uro-Tainer® Polihexanide 0.02% for catheter washouts improves satisfaction and quality of life in adults who have had a long-term catheter for more than 28 days. It aims to see how people feel about this routine care.
This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
