Copper-Coated catheter aims to slash hospital infections
NCT ID NCT07530328
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of urinary catheter coated with copper nanoparticles to see if it could lower the risk of urinary tract infections in hospitalized adults. 256 patients who needed a catheter for a long time took part. The goal was to compare this new catheter to standard ones and check if it is both safe and effective at reducing infections.
