U.S., Aug. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07759986) titled 'Anti-fouling Silicone Urinary Catheter for Adults Needing Long-term Catheterisation: a Pilot and Feasibility Study' on Aug. 03.
Brief Summary: This single-centre randomised pilot and feasibility study assessed whether an anti-fouling zwitterionic silicone urinary catheter can be deployed and evaluated in frail, elderly adults who require long-term indwelling catheterisation. In the experimental catheter, a zwitterionic polymer is blended into the silicone matrix rather than applied as a surface coating.
