Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patient requires a chronic indwelling Foley catheter for at least 14 days. Catheters will not remain indwelling greater than 30 days at a time
* Patient is more than 19 years of age
* Patient is able to give informed consent
* Patient is able to attend follow-up sessions

Exclusion Criteria

* Patient is less than 19 years of age
* Patient is pregnant
* Patient with a known allergy to silicone
* Patient has urinary tract anatomic abnormality that would prevent placement of a standard Foley catheter
* Patient unable to accommodate the catheter
* Patient has an active urinary tract infection (UTI) or other diagnosed infection that is untreated. Once the infection has been treated, the patient is eligible for study.
* Patient currently taking (or expected to take) more than a single dose of antibiotics for prevention of other infections during the catheter indwell period
* Patient has uncontrolled fecal incontinence (uncontrolled stool/poop passage)
* Patient is unable to feel and/or communicate their symptoms
* Informed consent is unable to be obtained
* Patient is unable or unwilling to comply with the study follow-up schedule
* Patient has a medical condition or disorder that would limit life expectancy to less than 30 days or that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound the data analysis
* Any other reason that if in the opinion of the investigator would make the patient unsuitable for enrollment in the study
