PROJECT
The use of urological catheters is associated with two main problems for the
patient - the risk of urinary tract infections (UTI) and painful urethra
microdamages arising during introduction and use of the catheter. We are
working on coatings for urological catheters surface that will ensure its
resistance to bacterial biofilm fouling and reduce the friction coefficient with the
urinary tract tissues. These coatings are intended to solve the problems of
patients using both short and long-term catheterization.
