BACKGROUND: Catheter associated urinary tract infections remain a persistent challenge in healthcare practice.
AIM: To establish whether silver alloy urinary catheters reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections compared with standard silicone or latex urinary catheters in short-term hospitalised adult patients.
METHOD: Analysis of eight studies using the Critical Appraisal Skills for Practitioners tool.
RESULTS: A consistent pattern emerged that supported the effectiveness of silver alloy urinary catheters over uncoated catheters to reduce infections in adult patients.
CONCLUSION: Changing practice to use silver alloy catheters would have a significant impact on patient care.
