Arm Label

Catheter A

Catheter B

Arm Description

Catheterization with Catheter A, which releases silver ions into the urethra and urinary bladder upon catheterization,. After activation in the wetting solution the coating retains water creating a smooth liquid surface around the catheter.The products are intended for single use. No additional lubricant were used. The subject will be treated with investigational products during 24 hours. During this period the subject will be catheterized with the study catheter at six occasions (every 4 hours).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main objective is to investigate two types of antibacterial catheters regarding their antibacterial efficacy. The study will investigate if silver added to the coating of a urinary catheter exerts antibacterial activity that will have an impact on bacteria quantity in the urine bladder among users of intermittent catheterization.
Detailed Description
The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, double-blind, single-site study of 24 hours use of a silver coated antibacterial catheter, and 24 hours follow up, in subjects practicing intermittent catheterization. Twenty male and female subjects using intermittent catheterization, having a confirmed significant bacteriuria were included in the study.
