This study is looking at whether a solution called Irrisept (0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate) can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) after a urinary catheter is removed. UTIs are common after catheter removal, and this study aims to find a way to reduce them without using antibiotics. Researchers will compare Irrisept to normal saline (saltwater) in people having their catheters removed. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, are having your catheter removed at a urology clinic, and are willing to complete a survey. The study will measure how many people get a UTI within 30 days after their catheter is removed. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 300 participants. It compares two different interventions: 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Normal Saline.

What's involved

You would have 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate or Normal Saline instilled into your bladder before your catheter is removed. You would also need to complete a survey after your catheter is removed.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study will track whether you develop a urinary tract infection for 30 days after your catheter is removed.
