A Novel Device-Integrated Drug Delivery System for Local Inhibition of Urinary Tract Infection

A Novel Device-Integrated Drug Delivery System for Local Inhibition of Urinary Tract Infection

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a frequent community-acquired infection and the most common nosocomial infection. Here, we developed a novel antimicrobial catheter concept that utilizes a silicone-based interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) as balloon material to...
