NCT ID NCT07044726
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to clean the area before placing a temporary bladder catheter: Betadine (the current standard) versus sterile water. Researchers want to see if sterile water leads to fewer bacteria in the urine and less pain during the procedure. About 148 adults who need a straight catheter in the clinic will take part.
