Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections with 15,000-20,000 diagnosed cases annually at hospitals in Denmark alone. Up to 80% of the hospital-acquired urinary tract infections are associated with the use of a catheter. This is a huge disadvantage to the patient with increased discomfort, morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the staff at the specific department is burdened with the extended periods of hospitalization, and, as a consequence, more unnecessary work. We are trying to solve this problem by preventing catheter-associated UTIs - for the hospitals and the patient.
