NCT06815120
Urological stents and catheters often lead to inflammation, causing pain and infection in the urinary tract. Moreover, 80% of stents are associated with pain, negatively impacting on QoL and mental health. Offering novel designs with significantly lower E\&B leads to a reduction in UTIs and improves QoL. Reducing hospital admissions (from 3 to 1 per patient, annually) would free \>100,000 bed-nights, allowing the elderly to regain independence. Our proposed research could have a significant impact towards fulfilling the 'healthy-ageing' Grand Challenge. Additionally, the novel stent reduces prevalence of infections and therefore, of antibiotic prescriptions contributing to the Global AMR challenge.
NCT05931887
To assess the ability of the Silq ClearTract™ 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter to reduce catheter associated complications in subjects that require a long-term indwelling Foley catheter when compared to other commercially available Foley catheters.
NCT05775614
The purpose of the current study is to investigate whether catheter flushing with Uro-Tainer® with citric acid and Uro-Tainer® Polihexanide can: Reduce catheter changes due to incrustation and blockage. In addition, a list of secondary aims inclusive of cost-effectiveness analysis in collaboration with the Centre for Innovative Medical Technology (CIMT) at OUH.
NCT04212325
Patients who underwent surgery for diabetic foot were divided into three groups: sciatic nerve block (Group B), continuous nerve catheter (Group C) . Group B patients underwent preoperative popliteal ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockage. 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered. In Group C patients, 20% bupivacaine 20 ml was applied to the sciatic nerve with a peripheral nerve catheter and continuous infusion was started with patient controlled analgesia device.
NCT04202250
Femoral nerve catheter for postoperative analgesia will be included in the adult patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty included in the study. These patients will be randomized to the catheter tip configuration as CEMP (closed-ended multiport catheter) group and OESP (open-ended single port catheter) group. Patient controlled analgesia device will be attached to the peripheral nerve catheter of these patients. Demographic data of the patients , the number of pushing the button the amount of bolus dose given, and the total dose given in the patient controlled anesthesia device, the need for additional analgesia and the amount, pain scores, complications will be recorded for three days postoperatively. Records will be compared statistically.
NCT02130518
Long-term indwelling urinary catheters are associated with chronic recurrent urinary tract infections and blockage caused by crystalline biofilm accumulation (encrustation) of the catheter surfaces. When the urine and catheter are colonized by urease-producing bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, encrustation of the catheter is likely to occur. The use of a catheter irrigation solution that can prevent biofilm formation and encrustation leading to blockage may keep the catheter patent longer, resulting in fewer catheter changes, potentially lower incidence of UTIs and better patient quality of life. Auriclosene is a non-antibiotic, fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial, which exhibits potential for the rapid decolonization of a range of urologic pathogens, including the urease-producing Proteus mirabilis. Subjects will be randomized to either Auriclosene Irrigation Solution or Auriclosene Vehicle solution.
