Abstract
IDEA BANK: Silver-coated catheter reduces hospital UTIs, associated costs. Catheter-associated UTI can extend a patient's hospital stay by 3.8 days, increasing costs significantly. Find out what new study says about a new catheter that decreased the incidence of UTIs in the study population.
