Research recommendations coming out of this guidance

  • More research is recommended on UroShield for preventing catheter associated urinary tract infections (UTIs). It has potential to provide significant patient and healthcare system benefits but uncertainties in the evidence need to be addressed.

    Research should be comparative, and it should address uncertainties about the effectiveness of UroShield in preventing catheter-associated UTIs and other catheter-related complaints such as blockages. Find out more in the further research section of this guidance.
