Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For several decades, patients have been taught to catheterise using a "clean" technique where they rinse their catheter under tap water and store the catheter in a sterile solution (e.g. Milton). The catheter is re-used for up to one week. The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) was known to be minimal (and certainly much less than having a permanent indwelling catheter).
Recently, the Therapeutics Goods Administration has issued a guideline that CISC catheters should be "single-use items" but no data to support this guideline appears to have been collected.
The aim of this project is to assess the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) when comparing single-use catheters with re-use of catheters for CISC, and to determine the cost differences between the two methods.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Single use group
New catheter for each Clean Intermittent Self Catheterisation (CISC), then discard.
clean intermittent self catheterisation single use vs re use
Over the 16 week period all patient will participate in 8 weeks of single use cathetersation and 8 weeks of re use catheterisation. The study is a randomised control crossover trial
Re use of catheters group
Use same catheter for 1week- Cleaning with sunlight liquid soap, air dry or dry with lint free towel, store in a snap lock bag.
Discard catheter and snap lock bag at end of each week.
clean intermittent self catheterisation single use vs re use
Over the 16 week period all patient will participate in 8 weeks of single use cathetersation and 8 weeks of re use catheterisation. The study is a randomised control crossover trial
