Catheter washout satisfaction study for long-term catheter users
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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 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 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 a special education program can help men who had prostate surgery and are going home with a urinary catheter feel less anxious and have better attitudes about preventing catheter infections. If you qualify, you would learn about how to care for your catheter to reduce your risk of infection.
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.
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.
