Development and Validation of an Automated Intermittent Bladder Irrigation System for the Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections: A Preclinical Study Using a Porcine Model
This preclinical study demonstrated that our automated intermittent bladder irrigation system provided superior clearance rates and significantly reduced procedural variability compared to manual techniques, highlighting the importance of automation in ensuring consistent and safe clinical outcomes independent of operator variables.
