Comparing two catheters for long-term bladder drainage
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.

This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
This study looks at how satisfied you are and how your quality of life is affected when using a special catheter cleaning solution called Uro-Tainer Polihexanide 0.02%. If you already use this solution for your long-term catheter, researchers want to hear about your experience.
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 study compares two methods of securing a urinary catheter to the thigh to see which works better. It's for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need a catheter for more than 48 hours.
This trial tests a new Foley catheter designed to be safer and more comfortable for people who need a urinary catheter for at least 3 days. It helps researchers see how well it works and if it causes any problems.
This study asks men who use a specific type of catheter (hydrophilic, size 14 French, 40 cm long) at least three times a day to try a new catheter and share their experience through online questionnaires. The goal is to see how well the new catheter works for daily use.
