Comparing ways to secure urinary catheters in ICU patients
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
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 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 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 looks at how well two types of urinary catheters work for women in the hospital who have trouble moving and need help managing urination. It compares the standard catheter with a newer external catheter that may be more comfortable and reduce infections.
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 tests two types of external catheters (devices worn outside the body) to see how well they measure urine output in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It may help avoid the need for a tube inserted into the bladder.
