Hydrophilic Catheters Versus Noncoated Catheters for Reducing the Incidence of Urinary Tract Infections: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 10/20/09

Cardenas DD et al. – Although there was no difference in the number of symptomatic UTIs in the 2 groups, hydrophilic catheter usage was associated with reduced numbers of treated UTIs as compared with standard nonhydrophilic catheters in persons with spinal cord injury who used self–IC; however, the study is limited by a small sample size. Women on self–IC were more likely to develop UTIs regardless of the catheter type, suggesting that the benefits of the lubrication may be more important in men.
