Infection Prevention

Zero CAUTI—it’s possible

CMS considers CAUTI a never event, meaning CAUTI is preventable by following best practices consistently. Our Urological Solution provides everything you need to overcome obstacles and help staff prevent CAUTI, every time.

OUR OFFERING

Help staff prevent CAUTI with a comprehensive approach

Many clinicians think it’s impossible to always prevent CAUTI. But organizations can target Zero CAUTI by avoiding indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) overuse, using bladder scanners, reducing Foley days, choosing IUC alternatives like external catheters and more.1 Our holistic Urological Solution, developed by clinicians, provides everything you need to follow CAUTI prevention best practices.
