Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if the commercially available device called the DOVER™ Silver Foley catheter prevents infections of the urinary tract.

Detailed Description

Over 1 million catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) occur annually in U.S. healthcare facilities and account for approximately 40% of the nosocomial infections. This investigation is a multi-center, blinded, prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel comparison of the intervention catheter (Tyco Healthcare DOVER Silver Foley catheter) to a usual care catheter and another commercially available silver-coated catheter. 1000 subjects total will be randomized at the multiple study centers.
