Reducing CAUTI risk factors in the ICU with external urine management¹

Preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) is a critical priority in the Neuro and Trauma ICUs at many medical centers. These infections, often stemming from traditional urinary catheterization, not only increase patient risks but also add significant healthcare costs. Recognizing this, one regional medical center implemented the Sage PrimaFit External Urine Management System for the Female Anatomy, aiming to reduce infection rates. In just one year, they recorded a 100% reduction in CAUTIs in these high-acuity units, alongside substantial cost savings for the facility.

Improving safety and lowering costs in urine management¹  

Shifting from indwelling catheters to this external urine management system has not only enhanced patient safety but also demonstrated an impressive financial return. Through targeted staff training, continuous monitoring, and a commitment to patient-centered care, this medical center is making healthcare better.
