Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A superiority study evaluating the efficacy of a complete cleansing system composed of 5 prepackaged, moistened cloths with a standardized cleaning method compared to the previous standard-of-care for catheter care and maintenance. The primary objective is to investigate if the implementation of prepackaged cleansing cloths with a standardized cleaning protocol for all indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) care and maintenance provides a reduction in CAUTIs. The ReadyCleanse complete cleansing system will replace the previous standard-of-care. The ReadyCleanse intervention will be compared to the previous standard-of-care retrospectively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ReadyCleanse for IUC

ReadyCleanse Cloths will be used for the standard of care for indwelling urinary catheter care and maintenance. The old standard of care will no longer be used.

Group Type OTHER

ReadyCleanse Cloths

Intervention Type DEVICE

ReadyCleanse cloths and the standardized cleansing procedure will be the standard-of-care for catheter care and maintenance; patients will undergo routine perineal care for a minimum of twice per day and after each incontinent episode.
