What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The primary aim of this randomized control trial is to characterize whether a mid-stream clean catch sample using a cleansing wipe in the setting of symptomatic UTI in a female patient is associated with a lower rate of contamination. We hypothesize that using a perineal cleansing wipe at the time of a midstream urine sample will decrease rates of contamination for female patients with a symptomatic UTI.
