Randomized Clinical Trial Using Sterile Single Use and Reused Polyvinylchloride Catheters for Intermittent Catheterization with a Clean Technique in Spina Bifida Cases: Short-Term Urinary Tract Infection Outcomes

Single use polyvinylchloride catheters for intermittent bladder catheterization did not decrease the incidence of urinary tract infections in our patients with neurogenic bladder compared to reused polyvinylchloride catheters. These results are consistent with the 2014 Cochrane Review.
