Design and Development of an Anti-fouling Urinary Catheter Utilizing Active Surface Deformation
<p>There are over 30 million Foley urinary catheters used annually, and the greatest problem with Foley catheters is catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). CAUTIs are the number one cause of hospital-acquired infections and make up to 40% of nosocomial infections. Biofilms on u...
