  "textContent": "A new study shares the results of a clinical trial into the use of a catheter coated with a bacteria-resistant material. The Camstent Coated Catheters feature a bacteria-resistant polymer coating developed by scientists at the University of Nottingham, and the results of the trial showed catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) were reduced by a third using the coated catheters and the need for antibiotics was cut by more than half when compared to those receiving standard care.",
