Summary

This is a single-center randomized controlled trial in comparison of Parylene-Coated versus Silicone Catheters in the Prevention of Urinary Tract Infections and Crystallization.

Detailed description

This study was a single-center randomized controlled trial, enrolling patients with indwelling urinary catheterization time greater than 2 weeks, and comparing the incidence of urinary tract infections in the two groups with different indwelling urinary catheter times by retaining mid-stream urine specimens for bacterial cultures on the 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th days after urinary catheter placement. And after removal of the urinary catheter,1-cm sections were taken from the head end and center of each urinary catheter, and the crystal deposition inside the catheter was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The incidence of urinary tract infections and crystal deposition on the inner wall of the catheter were compared between the patients in the matte catheter group (Parylene-coated) and the patients in the glossy catheter group (plain silicone) during the period of catheterization, so as to evaluate the effectiveness of the two types of catheters in the clinical application.
