  • Title: Hibitane bladder irrigation in the prevention of catheter-associated urinary infection.
    Author: Kirk D, Dunn M, Bullock DW, Mitchell JP, Hobbs SJ.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1979 Dec; 51(6):528-31. PubMed ID: 534836.
    Abstract:
    The effect of regular chlorhexidine bladder irrigations on catheter-induced urinary infection in patients admitted as urological emergencies was investigated. Excluding patients infected on admission the urine remained sterile throughout the period of catheterisation in 52% of those receiving chlorhexidine but in only 26% of a control group of patients.
