Overview

Narrative review summarizes fabrication strategies and antimicrobial agents for urinary catheters, indicating improved infection prevention.

Key Points

  • Antimicrobial urinary catheters reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections through advanced fabrication techniques.
  • Recent strategies like surface coatings and composite blending enhance durability and provide antimicrobial performance.
  • Diverse substrate materials such as silicone and polyurethane require modifications to achieve effective antimicrobial properties.
  • Future directions explore hybrid methods and sustainable practices to ensure regulatory compliance and clinical effectiveness.
