Patient satisfaction with Uro-Tainer Polihexanide washouts for long-term catheters
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a long-term urethral or suprapubic catheter that has been in place for more than 28 days.
- You must already be using Uro-Tainer Polihexanide 0.02% for your catheter washouts.
- You (or a caregiver, friend, or healthcare worker) must be able to perform the washouts and help with study paperwork.
- You must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- You must not have untreated blood in your urine, known allergies to the solution, current bladder cancer or bladder stones, or an active catheter-related urinary tract infection.

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 compares two types of catheters for people who need long-term bladder drainage. It tests if a new valve-style catheter works as well as the standard one.
This study tests whether teaching men how to care for their urinary catheter at home reduces anxiety and improves attitudes toward preventing catheter-related infections. If you're having prostate surgery and will go home with a catheter, this education may help you feel more confident and avoid infections.
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 tests whether washing the bladder with a solution called chlorhexidine (a germ-killer) can lower the number of unplanned hospital visits and improve quality of life for people who have a long-term suprapubic catheter. You may be eligible if you have had a catheter for at least a year and have had a recent urinary tract infection.
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.
