Hydrophilic Catheters Versus Noncoated Catheters for Reducing the Incidence of Urinary Tract Infections: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 10/19/09

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.
