Authors' objectives:
Silver-coated urinary catheters have antimicrobial properties due to the silver alloy monolayer that coats both the inner and outer surfaces, and are used in patients who require short-term indwelling urinary catheters, with the goal of reducing the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and thereby decreasing morbidity, mortality, and cost.
