Perineal Wipe for UTI
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.
