Pnflba-07 Bladder Injury Activates Innate Immunity During Short-term Foley Catheterization in a Swine Model

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: RESULTS: Results showed significant reductions of encrustation on polyether PU and polyester PU compared to silicone (p-values < .0001)and similar levels of encrustation on polycarbonate PU compared to silicone (p-values < .510).CONCLUSIONS: This study showed how polycarbonate PU encrusted much more than polyether and polyester PU, though all three are called 'polyurethane.' Furthermore, results suggest polyester and polyether PU perform better than silicone in terms of encrustation resistance.Future work includes clinical trials to confirm results.
