Prolonged use of indwelling urinary catheters in bed-ridden patients lead to a variety of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). The present study deals with the surface treatment of ready-made urinary catheters so as to render them antibacterial in nature. Catheters were treated with varying percentages of iodine in conjunction with natural rubber latex, and their iodide ion release pattern and antibacterial behaviour were evaluated.
