Although urinary catheters are an integral part of any healthcare setting, they can cause significant complications, such as urinary tract infections and stone formation. In addition, urinary catheters can become obstructed or calcified. By providing a coating that resists bacterial and protein adhesion, Silq Technologies is bringing a game changing innovation to the care of patients who require catheters for bladder drainage. My early experience using these catheters indicates that they are less likely to result in infection and become obstructed, and that patients are more satisfied with their use than with the standard non-coated catheters available today.
